This contains a really funky theme tune , but alas that`s the only funky thing about THE GREEN SLIME . The movie has an unbelievably banal script with a laughably small budget . To say the production values are identical to a contempary DOCTOR WHO story would be an insult to DOCTOR WHO
Come to think about it , THE GREEN SLIME would have made a fairly good DOCTOR WHO story . Premise wise it`s very similar to the late 60s Troughton tales of having a human outpost under attack from an alien force , but unlike THE GREEN SLIME the BBC`s legendary show did have an amount of intelligence at that time . I`ve got a question : If mankind haven`t encountered any alien life forms then why is the space station full of security guards ? It`s as if the script called for some cannon fodder without contributing any logic to the plot . At least in DOCTOR WHO a script editor would have written a line explaining the need for so many security men . Likewise not even a fantasy show like DOCTOR WHO would come out with a laughable error that heat is NOT a type of energy ! Well what is it if it`s not energy ?
Having said that " The slimy blobs " would have made great monsters for The Doctor to battle against , and it`s nice to see people come onto the site and say THE GREEN SLIME gave them nightmares when they were children . There`s a certain BBC show which used to have the same effect on me as a child
