ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Ploydsge just watch it!

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

BA_Harrison Slime City belongs to that small horror sub-genre known as 'melt movies', wherein characters' bodies are reduced to a disgusting mess of goop. Usually shot on a low budget, these films tend to suffer from rudimentary direction and weak performances, but what they lack in technical merit they seek to make up for in sheer ickiness.Directed by Greg Lamberson, this particular melt movie stars Craig Sabin as art student Alex, who moves out of college digs into an apartment to live closer to his girlfriend Lori (Mary Huner). Soon after, he meets several of his new neighbours: slutty rock chick Nicole (also played by Huner, but decked out in some of Cher's cast off togs and one of her wigs), weirdo poet Roman (Dennis Embry) and dotty old bat Lizzy (Jane Doniger Reibel).After accepting an invitation to dinner from Roman, during which he is served 'Himalayan yogurt' and a strange alcoholic beverage, an inebriated Alex is seduced by Nicole. Waking up the next morning, he discovers that his body is covered in a strange slime. As the day goes on, his skin condition goes from bad to worse, and his personality begins to change, until he becomes a raging killer whose condition can only be temporarily reversed by the blood of his victims.Lamberson's film takes a while to kick into gear, with a little too much time spent on developing Alex's sappy relationship with Lori when what fans of this kind of schlock really want to see are the gross out effects. The early murder of a homeless man is promising, the poor guy having his head bashed in with a metal bar, but it's not until the latter half of the movie that the film really delivers, with the final 15 minutes or so going nuts with the splatter, Nicole defending herself with a meat cleaver, reducing Alex's body to a pile of messy bits and pieces.It's certainly not for everyone, but Slime City has just about enough trashy charm to appeal to fans of such films (if you've seen and enjoyed Street Trash or Body Melt, you'll definitely be in your element).5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.

movieman_kev Writer/director/producer Greg Lamberson's first stab creating his own low-budget horror film comes across as a cross between "Street Trash" and "the Stuff" while being not quite as entertaining as either of the two aforementioned movies. This movie about a guy who moves into an apartment where he slowly gets murderous after a dinner of rather potent 'wine' and 'yogurt' starts off extremely slow and will leave you searching for the remote, but about a half hour in it gets slightly interesting. I applaud what Greg accomplished with the budget that he had, but sadly I still see this movie as a misfire.My Grade: D+ Region 1 DVD Extras: Commentary with Director Gregory Lamberson; Making Slime featurette; Bonus film? "Naked Fear" with optional commentary; a promo for Shockarama Cinema; theatrical trailer; and Trailers for "satan's Black Wedding", "Criminally Insane", & "Women's Prison Massacre"

Woodyanders Nice guy art student Alex (decently played by Robert Sabin) moves into a cheap, but clean and livable New York City apartment. After having sex with seductive tramp Nicole (the luscious Mary Huner), Alex becomes possessed by the pernicious spirit of evil occultist Zachary and transforms into a hideous, disgusting, homicidal dripping slime monster who embarks on a murderous spree, bumping off bums, hookers and back alley hoodlums with ferocious abandon. It's up to Alex's sweet, virginal girlfriend Lori (also portrayed by Huner) to save his soul before it's too late. The first fifteen-odd minutes of this entertainingly cheesy indie fright flick are pretty slow and awkward, but fortunately the film kicks into gear and delivers the delectably down'n'dirty schlock horror goods when the possession plot comes into play. J. Scott Coulter's wonderfully repulsive special make-up f/x pour on the gore, gunk and grue by the literal bucket, drenching the screen with a revolting tidal wave of hardcore ghastly and graphic blood'n'guts splatter (the delightfully over-the-top pull-out-all-the-stops excessive climax in particular seriously smokes). Peter J. Clark's rough, grainy cinematography, Robert Tomaro's infectiously bouncy throbbing rock score, and the adequate acting add substantially to this baby's ingratiatingly tacky charm. Sure, this picture has its flaws, but there's a certain endearingly clunky sincerity evident throughout which makes this honey quite engaging and enjoyable low-grade junk just the same.

silentgpaleo A college student rents out an apartment. Strange happenings, occurring in the basement, give way to the student's mental and (literally) physical collapse.For a zero-budget film, SLIME CITY isn't bad. The apartment building is cheap-looking(with bizzare jars stored in the basement)and odd characters roam the halls.This is a surreal image of ghetto life, but the film never enters the world of pure satire. It is more concerned with grossing us out(which it often succeeds in doing)and scaring us(which it fails at), than with delivering a bigger overall message.The acting is sturdy for an amateur production, and the effects are messy but not bad. It is the finished film that I was mostly disappointed with. The story just was not there, and with the lead female playing two parts, the end result is disbelief.Still, as far as horror movies go, you could do much worse than SLIME CITY. It is just a shame that the makers of the film didn't realize that if they spent just a few bucks more, they could have afforded a real script.And, when was the last time you saw a place in New York that looked like the inside of this building?
