Last night i was ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to experience the joy that is The Green Slime (68) a lurid and unheralded Japanese helmed sci fi about a slime that infiltrates its way onto a space station and then mutates when it comes into contact with human blood into a BUG EYED MUTATING TENTACLED MONSTER WHICH MUST KILL BY ELECTROCUTING PEOPLE AND WHICH MULTIPLIES WHEN KILLED ITSELF - its kind of like the sorcerers apprentice only with bug eyed mutant tentacled monsters etc etc instead of broom handles.
For added good value you get a) the rivalry between super stumpy Robert Horton and the wonderful Richard Jaeckel (who makes too many mistakes to be a good leader) b) Luscious Luciana Paluzzi caught in the middle in a series of metallic, skimpy, outfits ... c) garish cinematography ... d) a groovy space station disco and e) The Green Slime theme song - which really rocks!.
It was released the same year as 2001 a space odyssey and believe me - its about 2001 times more entertaining than Kubrick's acid fried nonsense.
