And despite being published 36 years ago and reeking of 80’s sexism and misogyny, I had a lot of fun with this one. I picked this one up because I read comparisons to John Carpenter’s The Thing, which is my absolute favorite film. With no way to call for help or escape, they have to figure out what is hunting them and how to kill it. Soon, the six drug smugglers find that they are not alone and are being hunted by something, not human. Also, the rig isn’t decked out like an oil drilling equipment but scientific research equipment instead. They find the platform deserted with only piles of clothes as evidence of the former inhabitants. Initially published in 1983, Slimer is the story of six drug smugglers stranded on an oil rig after their boat sinks.
