Slime City

About This Movie

Slime City is one of those oddball 80s flicks that definitely makes an impression with its blend of horror and bizarre fantasy. The atmosphere is thick with grime, really capturing that unsettling feeling of a run-down New York environment. You’ve got this student whose life takes a turn for the grotesque after tasting some homemade 'wine' that his neighbors whip up. The practical effects? They’re a highlight—especially the monster transformations, which are grungy and visceral, embodying the era's charm. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the surreal experience. Performances are a mixed bag, but it’s all part of the film's unique vibe. There's a certain rawness here that stands out amidst the polished genre offerings of the time.
