The Green Slime

AKA Death and the Green Slime, The Battle of Space Station Gamma



1968, Directed by Kinji Fukasaku

Green Sliiiiiiime! Greeeeeen Sliiiiiiiiiime! Every horror movie should have its own funk-rock soundtrack.

Some sterling model work kicks off this entertaining trailer, before the oddly out of place soundtrack kicks in and we see the rubbish aliens. The titular “Green Slime” don’t appear to be green or comprised of slime, but I suppose “The Brown Lumps” didn’t sound as exciting.

Amazingly, this movie was directed by Kinji Fukasaku, the cult Japanese director who gave us the brilliant Battle Royale. Blimey.

Favourite bit: The singing. OF COURSE.
