Review of The Slime People (1963) by Michael H — 07 Dec 2015

The filmmakers do pull off a neat trick by telling us the whole backstory through archival footage of newscasts discovered at a TV station. Of course the fog helps to obscure any shortcomings that might have cropped up, but by the end of the movie it's very, very thick, and being in black and white anyway, the thick gray haze quickly grows annoying, as you suspect that any action that is being hidden isn't worth straining to see.

And elementary math skills reveal that they could afford three Slime People suits, because that's the most you ever see on screen at one time. This does tend to dilute the concept of the Slime People as a world-conquering horde.
