Review of The Blob (1988) by Lafe F — 06 Jul 2007
An updating of the classic Blob movie for a great 80's monster horror film.
Some of the classic scenes, like the old man finding the crashed meteor, and the movie theatre attack, were re-created.
The gore effects of the blob eating people were very inventive and realistic. It had a translucency, so you could people being dissolved inside it. Some of the scenes had me squirming, like the guy and girl in the car, the cook being pulled into the sink drain, the phone booth smoosh, the person being swatted by one of the blob's tentacles, and the blob pulling the boy up to the ceiling.
This movie was bit of a shock that they showed a kid being killed. They added the whole end sewer sequence, to make it more spectacular.
I remember this DVD being released on September 11th, 2001. I watched "The Blob" to take my mind off the real-life horrors which were taking place.
