/ @sgpreviews Slime City Massacre (2010)Director: Greg Lamberson Genre: Sci-Fi / Splatter / Horror-Comedy Runtime: 88 minsThe Premise Decades after the events of the original Slime City (1988), a “dirty bomb” has decimated New York City, turning it into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Four squatters take over a ruined soup kitchen in the “Slime City” district. In the basement, they find a stash of “Himalayan Yogurt” and a glowing elixir left behind by the cult from the first film. Desperate for food, they consume it—only to be possessed by the spirits of the original cultists. They soon begin melting into colorful slime and must murder the homeless population to maintain their solid forms.Key CastDebbie Rochon as Alice. The indie horror icon takes a lead role here, adding to her extensive resume of “melt movies” and Troma-style productions.Jennifer Bighé as Alexa.Kean Cronin as Cory.Cameos: The film is packed with genre legends, including Lloyd Kaufman (Troma), Roy Frumkes (writer of Street Trash), and Robert Sabin (star of the original Slime City).Why It Fits the Genre“Melt Movie” Revival: This film is a deliberate throwback to the 80s “melt” subgenre (like The Blob or Street Trash). It relies heavily on practical effects—slime, oozing prosthetics, and gross-out gags—rather than CGI.Post-Apocalyptic Camp: It blends the grimy aesthetic of 1980s NYC exploitation films with a futuristic, sci-fi setting, creating a unique “retro-future” look.Connection to Podcast Interest Scott Geiter (Gruesome Hertzogg) is a vocal champion of director Greg Lamberson and the Buffalo, NY horror scene. He has interviewed Lamberson multiple times and frequently cites Slime City Massacre as a prime example of how to do a modern sequel to a cult classic correctly—by ramping up the gore and the camp.
