The Green Slime

1968 · 90 min

A goofy, retro space monster romp with cheap scares and earnest heroics that's more fun than frightening.

Tagline: The Green Slime are coming!
Overview: A giant asteroid is heading toward Earth so some astronauts disembark from a nearby space station to blow it up. The mission is successful, and they return to the station unknowingly bringing back a gooey green substance that mutates into one-eyed tentacled monsters that feed off electricity. Soon the station is crawling with them, and people are being zapped left and right!
How it feels: Campy, tense, eerie and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, isolation, loyalty, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
