Slimed (2010)

The Worst Film Ever

Pretty Good

It is a performances centric movie

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

I consider myself lucky enough to have gotten a copy of "Slimed" in the mail a few months back, sent to me by my good friend, director Jeff Nitzberg. But before I talk about my viewing experience, allow me to preface... I was in love once. It was a long time ago. Christ... it feels like centuries... I had been in darkness. Just the most corrupt of complete nothingness, and almost impossibly I met her, and suddenly, it was as if a light switch had been flicked. I was illuminated. Illuminated by her soul, illuminated by her beauty, her selfless ways of making me smile... illuminated by everything that she was. She was gorgeous. I remember a time where we did nothing but stay in bed for an entire day just... existing. I had never known a wonder in my life so beyond heaven, so beyond pure, unabashed glory in her presence. We were happy for two months. Then she was SHOT IN THE FACE. A man with a gun SHOT HER IN THE FACE. I SAW IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF ME. Her beautiful smile... her perfect face... obliterated by a single bullet that passed between her eyes and exploded through the back of her skull. The brain that held our memories, the brain that was capable of understanding how to make me the happiest man in the world, had suddenly spilled onto the pavement of the street in front of our apartment... the apartment we shared together. Do you understand? With a single bullet, this woman that I cherished and worshipped ceased to exist. HER FACE EXPLODED INTO HER BRAIN AND SKULL. I thought I could never love again. Then I saw "Slimed", and I was all like, "Fuck that bitch"! "Slimed" makes my dead girlfriend look like exactly what she is: a rotting corpse in a coffin without a face. I love this movie.

This movie is just hilarious. The actors are over the top, but perfectly so; the plot keeps taking strange twists that somehow make perfect sense at the time so you never feel "stranded"; and the special effects are incredibly well done, when they're not being deliberately silly. I watched this with my kids, and they were laughing as much as I was. While I don't know if you can really call it a "family" movie, it is definitely one of the funniest things I've seen in years. The production is as good as many "real" movies, and you can tell they took the time to actually write a good movie, rehearse, and think things through. Give it a watch -- you won't be disappointed.

When I first watched Slimed I was in my dark student room, sat in front of the computer with a takeaway pizza next to me (so a typical student night).I figured it would be a good laugh, and I most definitely wasn't disappointed! When I consider the amount of times I choked on my pizza from laughing, I could probably sue both Eric and Jeff.It is so outrageously funny it will have you laughing the whole way through; yes it is a bad movie... but its creators know this and so do the actors, this leads to the movie being FANTASTIC at being bad, and that is where it shines.Exploding children, wizard cats, puppets, bad green-screening and a myriad of other awesomely bad things make this movie what it is, Slimed is guaranteed to make you laugh - even if just for the WTF factor.
