Especially if the marines were all as dumb as Cal. I've often wondered why no one has noticed how closely this film follows Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend", or rather George Remero's take on Legend, the zombie epic, "Night of the Living Dead". NOTLD, a later film, takes a lot from Slime People... the trapped band of survivors, the helpless females, the dead-pan newscasters and military types, the thwarted escape plans... it's as if Romero followed the slime people model to the letter for his classic zombie yarn, but with much creepier results.;) Maybe spear-toting Slime Men could defeat the military.

This of course is intolerable and the slimer backs out of the door again. (Hey! Maybe the Army should try using fire-extinguishers next time!) Perfect! Nice review, Dennis! I remember seeing this a looong time ago and wondering why the rest of the world didn't seem to care that LA was domed. By sub-terrainian monsters. …Professor Galbraith picks up a fire extinguisher and begins squirting wimpy little puffs of extinguisher powder in the slime person’s face.
