Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

udar55 College student/video store employee Alex (Robert C. Sabin) gets an apartment with the hopes the privacy will allow him to get it on with his virgin girlfriend Lori (Mary Huner). Things change, however, when his neighbor Nicole (also Huner), a goth temptress, seduces him and makes him drink this green elixir. Soon Alex starts sweating orange slime and the only thing that can return him to normal is human blood. Turns out everyone in the tenement are occult followers of a guy named Zachary and Alex's body is going to be the host for his return.This is really cheap and makes something like BASKET CASE (1982) look slick by comparison. But like Henenlotter's film, there is a certain charm in the capturing of sleazy era 1980s NYC. The highlight of the film is definitely the effects work by Scott Coulter and some of it (especially the end meltdown) is totally gross. Director Gregory Lamberson, unfortunately, lets the effects down with his really flat direction and the film would have benefited from some STREET TRASH level inventiveness (that film's director, Jim Muro, worked on this as a steadicam operator). Sabin is an odd choice for a lead, mostly because he has a lisp that makes him sound like Sylvester the cat when he gets mad. Huner really surprised me as I had no idea she played both lead female roles until the end credits. Lamberson recently completed the sequel SLIME CITY MASSACRE, which brings Sabin back.

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.

cool_cool_1 Slime City (1988) was a good attempt by Greg Lamberson at making a low budget horror similar to "Street Trash", but i can tell you that this film is not a patch on "Street Trash" and i can assure you that it's no way near the calibre of Frank Hennenlotter's work.The film is about a young couple called Alex and Lori who move into a New York apartment but the apartment is haunted by an occult leader called Zachery, after Alex gets exposed to this mysterious green drink he starts melting and turning into a monster and goes on a killing spree!!! Alex is being possessed by the evil Zachery and only his girlfriend Lori can save him.To be fair the film does have it's moments and there's some good low budget gore near the end of the film, but i just felt it was lacking something and it didn't overly hold my interest, like i said before, if you want a fun slimy gorefest, stick with the far superior "Street Trash". 5/10

FieCrier I saw the original video release, not the more recent EI Cinema re-release "Collector's Edition" which cut some scenes that ran too long without adding anything (so I've read). It's true there are some scenes that don't contribute anything: people walking up flights of stairs when we've already learned the building's layout, and the like.Before the movie started, there was a trailer for Rock and the Money-Hungry Party Girls (1988), which looks pretty awful! Looking on the IMDb at Camp Video's titles, they have a lot of low-budget stuff that doesn't seem to have been widely seen of late. Let's see these put back in print!Slime City is actually pretty enjoyable in a low-budget gory horror kind of way. Another user mentioned Body Melt and Basket Case, and those are fair comparisons I think, although Frank Henenlotter's Brain Damage might be more accurate than his Basket Case, though without the far-out visuals. Cronenberg may even have been an influence on this director.A guy and his girlfriend check out a new apartment for him, which his friend helps him move into. His friend affectionately calls him a "slime" for wanting an apartment where maybe he can hook up with women other than his girlfriend, who is a "good girl" or possibly frigid.Initially it seems the apartment building is full of retirees, but he meets a sexy punk club- goer, and a gloomy garbage-picking poet. The poet serves him some green "Himalayan yogurt" and green alcohol that belonged to the late father of one of the tenants. The poet has blue yogurt, since it's "his color." It looks pretty awful, but tastes pretty good.After having the meal, and hooking up with the punk girl, the next morning he wakes up covered in clear slime. Later, his skin erupts into a mottled mess, dripping all over, and he's only recognizable because of his clothing. He kills a bum, and is restored to normal.It turns out that the late old man was an alchemist of some kind, who committed suicide in the basement with his followers, and there is now a collection of colored "yogurts" and wine bottles and books in the basement. Alex is addicted to eating and drinking the stuff, and can't keep anything else down. The movie gets ickier and gooier as it goes on. Recommended to fans of that kind of thing.
