Movie Reviews of The Blob
Movie Review: Watch again and again
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this film for free on FEARnet a video on demand service available through Cox Digital cable. I watch it and thought it was great, than I saw it again, and once more. Than my friend ordered it on his Netflix and I saw it once more. I have now seen this film six times in the last year and I have not gotten tired of it. On the contrary with each viewing I have grown to appreciate it more and more. I finally broke down and ordered it from Amazon.com two days ago and am looking forward to seeing it again. Bottom line, The Blob (1988) is an overlooked horror classic on par with Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition), John Carpenter`s The Thing (Collector's Edition), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 1-4: 4 Film Favorites.
Enjoy.
Movie Review: Well-Polished Version of an 80's Horror Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
If you wish to read of my adulation for this grisly, shocking, excellent remake, just scroll down to my March '99 review "Steve Mcqueen, Eat Your Heart Out!"As far as the long-awaited DVD release of "The Blob" is concerned, I must say it is an absolute treat for this here horror/sci-fi buff! Just to see Chuck Russell's masterful film in its digitally remastered 1.85:1 widescreen glory, along with the original trailer feature, really made my collection's day! My only qualm is that Columbia/TriStar was rather remiss towards the sound design (still in 2.0 surround, just like my old VHS copy). "The Blob" is a film that is definitely made for a 5.1 or DTS mix with all of its explosions and the oozing, organic sound effects that helped breathed life into this infamous & reviled movie monster.
An awesome flick and a 4.5-star quality DVD...worth every cent.
Movie Review: Fun,Fun,Fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the kind of horror movie I love. You like the characters, the monster is super cool, and you even get a happy ending!. I saw this in High school back when it hit theaters, and it has been one of my favorites ever sense. I showed it to my my wife, who hates scary movies,and it scared her to death. Any horror fan probably won't be very scared, but this is really a fun popcorn,good time. I would have loved a sequel to this, because every crappy horror seemed to get a sequel, but no. This one will stand alone,and I can't recommend this enough. Great, great movie!Movie Review: This Is A Great Drive In Movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a remake of the 1958 Classic starring Steve McQueen. Kevin Dillon plays his role in this film as the bad boy in town with a rebellious attitude. Shawnee Smith plays the All American Cheerleader and the two of them make an unlikely duo as they try to save the town from the Entity known as "The Blob". This movie also features a very good performance by the late Joe Seneca who I last saw in Crossroads (The Blues Movie not the Britney Spears busllstuff ). I give this movie 5 stars because the acting is great and it also has wonderful special effects.Movie Review: A great re-make...
Summary: 5 Stars
...you don't often see those two together, great, and re-make, this is the exception. I've watched this movie a long time ago, and just recently purchased it to add to my collection. It is way better than I had remembered it. The effects are great, it is more graphic than I had remembered it. The movie picks up right from the beginning and never gets dull. Excellent flick, interesting story, great effects = great time. A must own for your collection, at a great price.
