Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)
Independent Science Fiction Horror.
In the Florida Everglades, a backwoods game warden and a local doctor discover that giant leeches are responsible for disappearances and deaths in a local swamp, but the local police don’t believe them.
The film was shot over eight days, including outdoor sequences at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.
Attack of the Giant Leeches was one of a spate of “creature features” produced during the 1950s in response to cold war fears. A character in the film speculates that the leeches have been mutated to giant size by atomic radiation from nearby Cape Canaveral.
