Quick Hit

The Green Slime either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
