Great Film overall

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

I watched this movie a few weeks ago. Like most people on here I think it deserves about a 5 out of 10. The first kill is definitely not expected, suddenly he just starts melting and kills a homeless man, which instantly made me want to see the rest of it. He killed the homeless man with some blunt weapon and was just beating his skull in, pretty awesome. I was impressed with the acting of the main characters best friend the most. The story was original, I've never seen anything like it before. The final scene was interesting to say the least and unfortunately the special effects weren't as good as the first kill but needless to say this is a cult classic that you should give a chance.

I felt like I was watching a Henenlotter movie it has a very interesting concept similar to Street Trash from what I've heard it was beyond my expectations & surprised me with it's original story concept. A bit more low budget then Frank Henenlotter's films & had a good classy trashy appeal to it. highly enjoyable I rented this from hastings hoping it was not one of those crap strait to video low budget crap that had no time spent on it but I found out it came out in the late 80's & thought I'll give it a try what have I got to loose so I watched it & loved it. I found it a little inspirational in terms of film making heck I ended up making my own low budget splatter horror comedy with a friend. I later bought this from ebay for $7.50. I hope you found this review helpful.

Slime City is a movie about Robert Sabin eating yogurt or something and he starts to go insane as his body melts. So, he he decides to kill people. I saw this at a local mom and pop shop a few years ago, and the line on the front that proclaimed the movie was a "Jarring gore epic" really made me interested. It is jarring, it is kinda gory, but it's not really epic -- it's just really, really good. For those who like films like Body Melt and Basket Case, this is the perfect film for you. Weird gore scenes that don't really make any sense, one actress playing two different lead characters, and a script loading with strange events.There's a gang member fight where one gang member gets his arm stuck inside a guy's body, there's some hilarious lines (a friends witnesses Robert's bodies melting and says, "And I thought my acne was bad!), and the finalé is silly but gooey and gory enough to be entertaining. The whole thing is a little directionless in some parts but is extremely compelling throughout and worth a watch for even people that aren't into campy gore movies.
