BadNews R The 1980s were a golden age of horror—not always for genuine scares, but for the birth of campy, over-the-top cult classics. Many of these films thrived not because they were terrifying, but because they created memorable monsters, strange worlds, and stories that stuck with horror fans for decades. Unfortunately, Slime City never managed to capture any of that charm. The original Slime City (1988) is, quite frankly, a mess. The direction feels aimless, as though the filmmaker wasn’t entirely sure how to construct a horror movie. Instead of leaning into the fun, cheesy energy that makes ‘80s horror so beloved, the film drags along with a bizarre concept that never gels. The acting doesn’t help either—every performance feels stiff, awkward, and amateurish. It’s the kind of cast where you wonder where exactly they found these people and how they ended up in a feature film. The writing is equally disastrous. Scenes play out with little logic, the pacing is uneven, and the “slime” concept—meant to be gross-out horror—just comes across as silly and nonsensical. It’s not scary, it’s not entertaining, and it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of cult fun. Then there’s the sequel, Slime City Massacre (2010), which somehow manages to be just as bad—if not worse. You’d think, after two decades, lessons might have been learned, but no. The same flaws return: clumsy direction, atrocious acting, and incoherent writing. The “city of slime” setting sounds like it could’ve leaned into ridiculous B-movie territory, but instead it’s just confusing, dull, and almost unwatchable. Both films share one unfortunate trait: they are so forgettable that you’ll probably wipe them from memory within a week. Unlike other low-budget horrors that found cult followings by being so-bad-they’re-good, Slime City and its sequel are simply bad.
