To celebrate the April 7 release of busy independent director Brett Kelly’s remake of the 1959 Attack of the Giant Leeches<\/em> (which was executive produced by Roger Corman, but not directed by the low-budget maestro), Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has put together a gallery of production stills, behind-the-scenes pics and screen shots. Directed by Brett Kelly and written by Jeff O’Brien, the new Leeches<\/em> sticks to many of the low-budget plot points of the original but reportedly improves upon its ancestor via the energy of its cast and the enthusiasm of Kelly’s direction. Certainly his leeches, though hand-puppets, look a little more convincing than the 1959 film’s semi-inflated rubber “mats”, which, despite the poster, tend to drift around on the water rather that becoming overly ambulatory).<\/p>\n
