Movie Reviews of The Blob

Movie Review: That's MR. BLOB To You!...
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a fanatic for the first, 1950s THE BLOB, as well as the swingin', cheeze-log 70s version, BEWARE! THE BLOB!. In this 80s update, we get a cheerleader (Shawnee Smith from Saw) and a local tough-guy (Kevin "Not Matt" Dillon) who try to convince the sleepy town of Arborville that a giant alien mass is eating its way through the population. In keeping with the original, no one believes them. This time out, we get the added attraction of a massive government conspiracy! The best aspect of the new one is its superior SFX, complete w/ rampaging protoplasm and its realistically dissolving victims! My favorite scenes include the "disintegrating football jock", "man sucked down the sink drain" "phonebooth waitress squish", and "imploding dream-date" sequences! There are even a few nods to the Steve McQueen version in the meteor, freezer and movie theatre scenes. Co-written by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist). A worthy addition to the BLOB legacy... P.S.- It's always a treat to see Candy Clark (American Graffiti, The Man Who Fell To Earth) in anything. Her endearing waitress character is memorable...

Summary of The Blob

More graphically-realistic than ever THE BLOB has returned in this horrific tale about a vile malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a cozy rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect the Blob does only one thing-and does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves...men women children. And tonight it wants to swallow Arborville whole. The original version of THE BLOB thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 50's. Now the oozing gooey killer is back with a new high-tech 80's look. What was once only suggested now comes to life in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of such classic remakes as "The Thing" and "The Fly".Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR Rating:?R UPC:?043396059238 Manufacturer No:?05923
