Product Description

Book Description
Utilising in-depth reviews, cast and plot details, Slimetime wallows in those films which the world has deemed it best to forget - everything from cheesy no-budget exploitation to the embarrassing efforts of Major Studios. Many of these films have never seen a major release, some were big hits, and others have simply vanished. To compliment the wealth of reviews on sci-fi, schlock, flower power and puppet people films are detailed essays on specific sleaze genres such as Biker, Blaxploitation and Drug movies. Fully updated and revised with new reviews and new illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars SLIMETASTIC, 24 Jun 2008
By Kelvin J. Dickinson (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Almost unthinkable the number of films this book 'celebrates' that I'd previously never heard of (possibly, I hasten to mention, because a good deal of them fall into the category of, er, tasteless schlock). However, that's not to say that I don't approve of the odd tasteless movie - on the contrary, one of my all-time favourite gore-fests, RE-ANIMATOR, quite happily resides in that arena - but normally I don't gravitate to all-out trash. And, believe me, there's bucketloads of that summarised and reviewed here, dismal non-mainstream efforts - better suited to the nearest landfill site rather than Blockbusters - made by no-hope directors, starring no-talent actors, working from no-hope scripts. Charming. And where's a sick bag when you need one?

Yet, despite appearing to have emerged from the most diseased of minds, there are still some films in SLIMETIME that contain a degree of merit and I happily admit to owning a very small number of these, including THE NINTH CONFIGURATION, PSYCHOMANIA and KING KONG ESCAPES. Okay, we're not talking Oscar-winning material here but they do demonstrate wit, imagination and technical competence on a limited budget. And, yes, they're also entertaining - not the worst of reasons for liking a film. Worth remembering, and for the sake of balance, that frontline Hollywood has itself never been a stranger to A-List scrong* (HOSTEL, anyone?).

The reviews are 100% pure hysterical adrenaline-fuelled ravings by author STEVEN PUCHALSKI (who frequently uses language that would require asterisks if published on this forum). They also happen to be stand-up funny, and therefore perfectly in keeping with the material under his warped scrutiny which ultimately renders this book a must-own if you like, or are at least fascinated by, films that belong squarely on the outer limits of madness.

For your consideration, then...

THE NIGHT GOD SCREAMED
GATOR BAIT
TENEBRAE
RABID GRANNIES
THE WIZARD OF GORE
ALICE IN ACIDLAND
INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS
THE TOXIC AVENGER
PLEASE DON'T EAT MY MOTHER

And, dear God, many many more where that lot came from. One could use a clutch of off-colour words to describe the above but I won't, I'm content to leave that dubious pleasure to Puchalski, who effortlessly transforms even the most vile and excessive celluloid entry into something at least worth reading about. So, deep breath and take a trip to the edge...within, of course, the (relatively) safe confines of this excellent and thoroughly unwholesome book on a crazy and thoroughly unwholesome sub-genre.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

*scrong - made it up but, heck, you know what I mean
