Chattanooga Film Festival Red Eye #8: Silver Slime (1981), Killing Spree (1984) and Possibly In Michigan (1983)
Silver Slime (1981): Christopher Gans has made some great movies and gets little credit. His better-than-the-game Silent Hill, Crying Freeman, his segments in Necronomicon and the incredible Brotherhood of the Wolf are among his many accomplishments. As a student, he made this film, which pays tribute to Bava, complete with a dedication at the end. And you know, in […]
