Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival *** Slime City Grindhouse Collection *** |
SLIME CITY MASSACRE is the 2010 sequel to Gregory Lamberson’s 1988 cult horror film SLIME CITY. The film was shot in Buffalo, New York and had its world premiere at the Beloit International Film Festival in Wisconsin. SCM won “Biggest Baddest Mother of the PollyGrind” (Best Film) and Kealan Patrick Burke won Best Actor at the PollyGrind Film Festival in Las Vegas. Brooke Lewis won Best Scream Queen for her work in the film at the B Movie Celebration in Franklin, Indiana, and the amazing Debbie Rochon won Best Actress at the Eerie Horror Film Festival. Written and directed by Gregory Lamberson, the film takes place seven years in the future, after a dirty bomb has decimated New York City's financial district and reduced midtown to a post apocalyptic nightmare... "Slime City." Into this hostile environment arrive Alexa (Jennifer Bihl) and Cory (Kealan Patrick Burke), a draft dodger and an army deserter, seeking refuge. In a seemingly deserted building, they encounter Mason (Lee Perkins) and Alice (Debbie Rochon), two hardened survivors who teach them the ropes. In flashbacks, we see how Zachary Devon (Robert C. Sabin, star of the original) indoctrinates a prostitute named Nicole (Brooke Lewis) into his "Coven of Flesh," and we learn why he and his followers committed mass suicide. When Alexa, Cory, Mason and Alice discover Zachary's "home brewed elixir" and "Himalayan yogurt" in the ruins of his soup kitchen, all four characters are possessed by the spirits of Zachary and his followers, with outrageous results. Throw in homeless people, mercenaries, and mutant cannibals, and you have the recipe for an epic battle - the Slime City Massacre.
SLIME CITY MASSACRE stars Jennifer Bihl (GRUESOME), award-winning author Kealan Patrick Burke, cult movie icon Debbie Rochon, and SLIME CITY stars Robert Sabin and Mary Bogle. Supporting players include Brooke Lewis, Tommy Sweeney, Roy Frumkes, and Lloyd Kaufman. Dick Biel, T.J. Merrick and Nelson Wakefield, who all appeared in the original film, play new roles this time.
The film was produced by Marc J. Makowski and executive produced by John Maclay, with Frumkes, Lewis, Sweeney, Ed Walloga, Tamar Lamberson, and Richard Chizmar serving as associate producers.
The slime must be appeased! Reviews of Slime City Massacre“Rather dark, but with a satirical streak, this is Lamberson’s most ambitious film. The setting, the soundtrack and the action sequences are all reminiscent of the Italian post-apocalyptic action films of the ‘80s. The performances are terrific,
and fans of the absurd humour and over-the-top violence of the original will find much to like.” “From start to finish, SLIME CITY MASSACRE is one helluva good and highly
entertaining ride through the darkest alleys and deepest abysses of horror, splatter and exploitation film making, which every fan of the original SLIME CITY and all the other over-the-top cult flicks from the 70s and 80s, such as THE TOXIC AVENGER, NEON MANICS and THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, as well as STREET TRASH and BASKET CASE (to whom SCM pays homage in the coolest way ever!), simply has to love!” “There’s no shortage of slimy sex, skull bashing, severed heads, gory gunshot wounds, and a pair of outrageous gore gags that have to be seen to be believed. SLIME CITY MASSACRE is hands down one of the coolest horror flicks I’ve seen in ages...” “It’s slime-coated brain candy and just a whole lot of ooze-dripping fun.” “Filmmaker Greg Lamberson’s SCM is a wild, weird, sexy indie romp reminiscent of early Troma, sans cheesy humor, flatulence and man-ass! It’s not just an admirable sequel, it is (in my opinion) technically better than the first in many ways! Lamberson gives us a cool story which expands upon the events introduced to us in SC, the cinematography was solid, score incredibly fun and the acting, man the acting was wonderful.”
“Overall, it’s a movie that is better than the original, quality-wise, in every way while still keeping the original’s heart, soul, and style. It’s still just as repulsive and disgusting as ever…only this time the puddle of slime is a bit more polished and the elixir tastes that much sweeter for it.” “SLIME CITY MASSACRE lives up to its expectations every step of the way,
making one of the most impressive independent efforts I’ve seen in a long time. Plus, I think it’s a film that’s going to have legs way after its initial release.” “This is an awesome sequel to one of the coolest movies that I’ve seen in a long time. My only hope is that Lamberson is successful enough with this movie to give us more.” “I loved the original Slime City and this is a truly worthy sequel. I'm giving Slime City Massacre 4 out of 4 cigars, this is just a good old fashioned horror movie that would have shown at any drive-in in the 80s...and will fit perfectly into your DVD collection today!” “Greg Lamberson’s original Slime City was one of those 1980s movies that
gained a cult largely for its low-budget limitations. Working on a larger but still miniscule budget, he managed to make this sequel look surprisingly professional with astute use of the Central Terminal train station, the kind of set you couldn’t afford to build even if you had deep, deep pockets. He also has very capable actors, and the result is a genuinely engrossing story set in the aftermath of a dirty bomb attack and the general breakdown of government. Too many sequels turn jokey, but Lamberson went in the opposite direction, mining his original conception for 21st-century relevance. “
