SLIME PEOPLE

Cinemavixion Review

Robert Hutton's "Slime People" plunges viewers into a delightfully campy atomic age nightmare. Emerging from the sewers of Los Angeles, these prehistoric "boogeymen" present a unique threat that quickly overwhelms the military, forcing a motley crew of survivors into a desperate fight for their city. The film excels in its B-movie charm, featuring a surprisingly engaging plot that pits everyday citizens—a sportscaster, a professor, his daughters, a Marine, and a rather eccentric author—against an otherworldly menace. While the special effects and creature design are quintessential of its era, they contribute to the film's enduring appeal. "Slime People" is a testament to creative storytelling within genre constraints, offering a fun, if slightly absurd, slice of 1960s sci-fi horror that remains a cult favorite.
