"Attack of the Giant Leeches" (also known as "The Giant Leeches") is a 1959 American science fiction horror film directed by Bernard L. Kowalski. The film tells the story of giant, blood-sucking leeches that terrorize a small Florida community. The creatures, mutated by radiation from nearby rocket testing, emerge from the swamps and begin to devour local residents. The film is a classic example of 1950s creature features, known for its low-budget effects, campy atmosphere, and social commentary on the dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation.
Plot:

In the Florida Everglades, strange disappearances begin to occur. Game warden Steve Benton investigates and discovers giant leeches lurking in the swamp. These creatures are the result of radiation exposure. The leeches begin to attack local residents, including those at a nearby moonshiner's shack. Steve, along with a doctor and the local sheriff, must find a way to stop the leeches before they consume the entire community.
