SLIME CITY - Hugely enjoyable mid-eighties trash which features a young artist's descent into madness and a really bad complexion following seduction-by-gothic new nieghbour (said goth is reincarnated cult freak, so bad things bound to happen). I'm slightly jealous in a way, because nothing like that happened to me when I moved recently. I only mention this because one of the people I watched it with said, apropos of nothing, "This just wouldn't happen in Leeds" and then fell silent! (hopefully forever). Anyway, artist guy oozes slime, breaks up with girlfiend and finds himself in the iron grip of an insatiable lust to kill, so perhaps I'm not missing out on too much. It's great fun on a low, low budget and has a touch of Henenlotter about it as well as a nice, gross out climax.
