Movie Reviews of The Blob
Movie Review: Terror has no form.
Summary: 4 Stars
Breathe, while you still have time to scream. This is a great updated remake of the original (it's an "updated movie" if 1988 fx can still hold water). This is a great substitute for the original since a lot of 50's movies won't hold a new crowd since they generally are black and white, a little too sweet, and have pie plates on strings for UFOs ( thank you Ed Wood! ).
This one can hold its own. It has violence, but not gratuitous, and some language, again not too much. It also has a nice eery feel and takes place mostly at night. This is definitely one for the teenage horror fan collection that can be taken out and savored every now and then.
This one fits in well in the category of John Carpenter's The Thing.
Movie Review: Horrifyingly Funny, Fully-Congealed Remake!
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite the B-movie budget, The Blob (1988) is a smartly crafted flick that comprehends the relationship between horror and comedy. With self-effacing in-jokes, clever shocks, and superb effects, it delivers the goods in the form of a genuinely scarey film that's eager to have fun with its silly premise. Sprinkle in some false expectations about characters (to misdirect those who've seen the McQueen version) and you've got a movie with some surprises up its sleeve, a movie that works far better than the original. Today, it puts one in mind of a better X-Files episode. Not to be missed by genre aficionados.Movie Review: Blobbing again
Summary: 4 Stars
We loved this movie so much we stretched the tape! Now we have it on DVD and the print is perfect. Enjoyed it so much more than the Steve McQueen version; the cast do a convincing job and there are several hold-your-breath moments. Plus one of my favourite lines of all times from a harrassed mother watching her son suck dessert of a plate," Don't eat with your face!"
Fast paced, exciting; little town versus bad scientists and eukky enough for any scifi fan.
And with a neat, if predictable, twist at the end.
Package arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Thanks guys!

Summary: 4 Stars
This horror flick is suspenseful, has good dialog, convincing acting, and a good score. The director even provides some drama at times, such as the scenes following the death of the young girl's boyfriend at her house with her parents.
