5.0 out of 5 stars
Faster paced than the original SLIME CITY but not quite as memorable

This film has a faster pace and a much higher body count than the first one, but it lacks some things that the original had. It doesn't have the great synthesizer score of the first, and another thing that is disappointing compared to the first film is the ending. The original SLIME CITY had a great over the top gruesome ending where the slime man is butchered by his girlfriend, but the ending gore scene on this film doesn't compare to that scene at all. However, this film has a higher budget than the original and the replay value is better because of the films faster pace. The simple to follow story involves a group of survivors (some good and some bad) in a abandoned and decrepit building complex that used to be the home of an evil alchemist, and then some of them then find an elixir and yogurt which was developed by that evil wizard. These magical potions turn whoever consumes them into evil slime people; they ooze slime and some of their insides become creatures. It's obvious that THE THING had some influence here with the scenes where there torso's open up with those rows of sharp teeth and other stuff. Basically the entire film takes place in this abandoned building which provides the film with loads of decrepit scenery. With the exception of some parts, most of the film is fast paced. It's also well directed and pretty well acted. There are some bits that may be a little bit talky, but most of the film is low on dialogue. You don't have to see the first SLIME CITY first because this film is really more of a remake. Just like a FRIDAY THE 13TH film, RESIDENT EVIL and other films like that, you can just turn your brain off and watch it because it's simple and you don't really have to pay attention to it. There's plenty of oozing slime for people who like those slimy types of films, some cool gore scenes, and some good action. The first SLIME CITY didn't have any nudity, but this one has a little that's not explicit. Since the replay value is high, I'll give it 5 stars like the first SLIME CITY; even though I still think the first one is a little better, but I think most people who are fans of mainstream horror will like this one better because it feels much more modern and has a higher budget.
The DVD quality is very good, and it's a 2 DVD set with plenty of extras.

Indie film is alive and well, and as fun as ever. The effects are amusingly gross, the in jokes abound, and gifted horror author Kealan Patrick Burke makes an understated but impressive cinematic debut in a major role. This one needs a second viewing--the commentary track is a blast as director Greg Lamberson and his leading ladies fill us in on the behind the scenes chaos. Anyone who doesn't get the movie didn't get the 80's.

What can I say about SCM? The original had a bit of a cult following. A good job for a low budget independent film. Then they made the sequel and blew it out of the water. You do not need to have seen the original to like this one, but if you did, it will most definitely enhance as the continuuity between the 2 is pretty tight. Great story, strong performances, and just a fun time throughout. Personal favorite was a unique kill involving a couple of bodies. And look for the quick homage to genre favorite films Basket Case and Street Trash (it took me the third viewing to catch it). Indie-film making at its finest, pure and simple.
