Rating: 4.0
I think... you pissed it off!
This is a great 80s horror movie, it's fun and the 95min run time flies by. Filled with good fx, comedy, and action. This movie was also in Fangoria's 101 best horror movies you've never seen book sold by Amazon. (i should get a free dvd for that plug)So, the plot, A meteor (or is it!)crashes to earth jellylike goo busts out of so called meteor, this goo slithers through anything and attaches itself to humans devouring these humans and getting bigger and bigger. A loner rebel (Or is he!) named Brian Flagg (Almost as scary as the blob is his mullet) played by Kevin Dillon (entourage, platoon) teams up with hot cheerleader Meg Penny to lead the fight against the BLOB!This movie also wasn't as predictable as i thought *SPOILER ALERT*, earlier in the movie a nice waitress Fran gets asked out by equally nice and fair Sheriff Herb Geller. Fran declines cause she has to work , but wait leaves a note on the check "i get out at 11" oooh i can't wait. So this is the making of something beautiful right, nope the blob squashes Fran in a telephone booth, and guess who she sees right before this squashing Sheriff Herb, does he blow a kiss goodbye? Negative he is up in the blob that is about to devour her. At least they do become one.Even before Meg Penny goes on her date with responsible and likeable Paul. He meets her dad and her mom, he's an established character from the beginning, so he makes it right? Wrong again, blob food. I knew he was a goner when at the hospital rebel loner Brian Flagg shows his soft side to the bumb and Meg was swooning, it was all over for football player Paul Taylor at that point.Finally the nice priest who makes teens buying condoms at the pharmacy guilty, gets attacked by goo. I know what your saying, stop it, not the priest .... No, the priest makes it but is that a good thing or a bad thing ..duh duh duh!!!This movie was a blast. So, if you collect dvds, horror, or 80s movies this is a nice add to your collection, it had me wanting to peg my pants, wear skidz, some old air jordans, and shave some lines in my head. It's also a great remake up there with dawn of the dead (2004) and cat people(1982), i can't think of any others off the top of my head.
