Independent
Filmmaker Gregory Lamberson's 1989 horror film Slime City
lands on Blu-ray disc paired with its 2010 sequel, Slime City
Massacre. While the production budget may not rival a Hollywood
blockbuster, these films are pretty fun to watch and will be sure to
attract crowds of The Blob or various zombie films. The films
star Debbie Rochon, Craig Sabin, Jennifer Bihl, Kealan Patrick Burke,
Roy Frumkes, and an appearance by Lloyd Kaufman himself...
somewhere.
Slime
City (1989) - In a run-down apartment building in NYC, a student
stumbles across the remains of a cult and transforms into a
murderous, slime-dripping monster... much to the dismay of those
around him.
Slime
City Massacre (2010) - A greedy real estate tycoon sends
mercenaries into a bombed out slime city to destroy the homeless and
help even out the numbers. They stumble across the remains of a cult
of hideous, oozing slime creatures, and spark an all-out war for
control of the slimed territory. Need we say more?
Both
films are presented in 1080p high definition with widescreen aspect
ratios of 1.77:1 (City) and 1.85:1 (Massacre) and look
decent for being low budget productions. Though the sound isn't
listed online or on the disc, it is lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo
sound mixes on both films that aren't anything to write home about,
but not glaringly awful either. However, despite the low budgets,
why not lossless PCM sound at least?

While
the films aren't as charming as the C.H.U.D. films, the Slime
City films are pretty fun to watch, if for no other reason than
it shows that the filmmakers had some compassion for the projects
when they made them.
