Rock the ranger (Jordan Lee) is in trouble, as his wildlife resort
faces foreclosure if he doesn't come up with money by Monday. So he, a
confessing atheist, joins forces with bible salesman Pepe (Dustin
Triplett) to build a nature house that is to bring in enough money to pay
all his debts - by Monday. Thing is, Pepe wants to trick Rock into
building a church, so their partnership soon becomes a bit rocky - when
they stumble upon an injured man (Chris Gorges), who has apparently been
in contact with some lethal green slime. And following the trail of the
green slime back, they encounter a dimensional door and through it enter
the lab of the mad human mouse scientist (a puppet voiced by Eric Manche),
who has developed the green slime as an all-purpose substance - from
pesticide to cleaning liquid to food and drink - and it's alomost
perfected, apart from the fact that it's lethal. But now that Rock and
Pepe have found out his secret, he wants to eliminate them ... but the two
soon find out that his guards explode upon impact, and are about to get
away - when the green slime breaks loose, devouring everything in its way,
including not only Rock the ranger's park but also all of Florida ... Now
ok, Slimed is a movie that's not to be taken seriously at all.
Pretty much all about this movie (including the messages one might want to
read into it) is silly - but it's the good kind of silly, that makes one
laugh with the movie rather than at it. Storywise, Slimed is of an
"anything goes" (within the budget) mentality that really pays
no heed to plausibility or narrative coherence, as long as it gets a laugh
- and in its own way, Slimed is actually pretty funny - and totally
bonkers in the most entertaining way! And if this has gotten
you at all interested, Slimed is available from http://watch.troma.com/
