Slime City (1988)
6/10
Slime City is a must-see for 80s horror fans
20 January 2024
I recently watched Slime City (1988) on Tubi. The story follows a young man in an apartment building where a couple is conducting strange experiments. Accidentally ingesting one of their formulas, he undergoes a slimy, discombobulated transformation with new cravings. Can he reverse the symptoms or will he succumb to his newfound desires?

Directed by Gregory Lamberson (Killer Rack), the film stars Allen Rickman (A Serious Man), Bunny Levine (You Don't Mess with the Zohan), Marilyn Oran (Legends of Sleepy Hollow), and Craig Sabin (Widow's Point).

Impressively crafted for a low-budget horror film (made for $50k), Slime City's storyline is somewhat cliché yet entertaining to watch unfold. The acting, writing, and dialogue are average, although Jane Doniger Reibel is gorgeous in this. The soundtrack adds to the fun, and the special effects, particularly in the last 15-20 minutes, are exceptional-worthy of a 10/10 conclusion. Were those Cheetos at the end?

In conclusion, Slime City is a must-see for 80s horror fans, earning a solid 6/10. I recommend watching it at least once.
