3 Thoughts After Re-Watching ‘The Blob’: 1. They did NOT hold back when it came to who’d be killed off. Nobody was safe. Always a plus for a horror film. 2. Big win for the practical effects here. Satisfyingly grotesque. 3. It’s a quick film that pretty much gets straight to the point and doesn’t let up. Mindless entertainment from the 80s time capsule.

Nifty remake of the 1958 classic. This story of a shapeless, featureless space alien, instead of the usual "little green men", opens the door for a decidedly different kind of invasion movie. This version stays pretty true to the original and the advancement of special effects over 30 years allows for some really great and gory kills. The best being a victim being pulled into a sink drain and a wicked attack of a main character in a doctor's office. There are some effects that aren't so good though, you'll scoff when you see them. The acting is really very good and its got its share of moments that are actually scary. The characters, even the primaries, could get swallowed up at anytime. I'd say this is a must watch for any fan of the original.

As good as it could have been. Silly and fun.

Jello-killing-pudding, that's how the judgement day will look like! :)
