The Blob

Nice horror flick of the late 80s, spiced up with some gore. The effects of this B movie look maybe a little outdated for today's eye (or nostalgic, depends) but still The Blob is worth to watch. In my opinion the remake is better than the solid original from 1958, of course Steve McQueen would have been a nice addition to the remake. Anyway, after watching, you will look at any drain and the like with a different eye. Great fun to watch.

The Blob (1988) Now this is what you call a great remake, I didn't think it would be as good as the old one but WOW. I liked liked how this movie kind of change some of the story, and this blob was a lot more scary and Gooey-er . The effect in this movies, I so great, I was shocked at almost every deaths scenes in this movie, loved each one. Also liked how they some scenes from original and made it their own at the same time. I wasn't to keen on ending, I just that was not need in this movie. Great fun movie, Awesome remake 9 out of 10 ,

(70%) Along with "The fly", and "The thing", this is a member of a trio of fine remade 1950's B-movies that did a great job of recreating some pretty gross ideas by adding some 80's style gore, yet still keeping the basic premise, as well as maintaining some of the better ideas roughly the same. This is the lesser of the three movies, but the other two are fantastic, while this is just plain good. The plot is well told with enough time on the main characters, but not too much to ruin the pacing, and the effects are really well done throughout with great gore and creature based attacks. Overall though it's just a very entertaining movie to watch that I'd recommend to all horror fans.

THE BLOB (1988) *** Kevin Dillon, Shawnee Smith, Donovan Leitch, Joe Seneca, Candy Clark. Excellent remake of the sci-fi camp classic with rebel Dillon and cheerleader Smith battling the excessively growing man-eating organism wreaking havoc on their small town community. Gooey grotesque special effects are the true star thanks to director Chuck Russell. Look sharply for Erika Eleniak as a victim as she's about to be felt up on a date (lucky blob!)

Thank God. All bets were off when the five credited screenwriters decided, hey the monster can kill a ten year old kid, and it can be fun. This wise remake (re-imaging) based on the old Steve McQueen solid drive-in hit delievers the horror/suspense goods in spades. And rather than make a retread, they dropped a little 'explaination' into the frey and not only does it work, it enhances the original. Kevin and Shawnee prove they can hold their own in the leading man and woman roles. It's odd that this really marks Kevin's biggest contribution to the entertainment world. Perhaps he looks too much like his brother. In any event, chills and spills in this wacked out story abound. I mean, who of us wouldn't be scared of a thing without a face -- a thing that just eats everything in sight. Catch it.

The Blob (1988) was a bloody and nasty update to the fifties "classic" horror/science fiction film THE BLOB. I actually prefer the remake (one of the few times you'll hear me say that) because it covered ground that the original failed to cover and the Blob looked meaner and nastier than the original pile of goo. Kevin Dillion stars as the reluctant hero. The story to the remake is very much the same (except for the expected eighties additions and themes). No hokey pokey stuff here folks. If you like the original then you probably wont enjoy this update. More horror than science fiction and the gore level is real high. I hope they don't try and remake this movie again. I felt that once is enough. Kevin Dillion was enjoyable as the rapscallion who does good and Shawnee Smith is in hot mode, Bill Mosley, Donavan Leitch, Art La Fleur and Candy Clark co-star as well. Recommended.
