Product: The Blob (1988)
Rating: 3.0
The Return Of The Blob!! Oh NO!!
Once upon a time in 1958 a little horror gem was made, it was titled "The Blob" now the this blob wasn't like any other blob, oh no sir, this blob was mean and liked to eat people with its nasty gelatin..Ok enough cute talk, let's get to the movie.This remake of the original 50's classic makes the best effort to re-invent the story of a meteorite that carries a deadly alien life form...or so it seems. This time around we have Shawnee Smith as the lead protagonist (best known from Saw franchise) her role in this film is as great as it is in the saw movies, she presents a typical teenager, but with a little bit of attitude. Along are other forgotten 80's stars.I have to admit that the plot may be in certain ways similar to that of the original, but the Chuck Russell (Director) brings new gimmicks and frights to what you may think can be your typical cheesy horror flick. I myself was surprised by some of the moments were I jumped in the movie. The effects are also impressive, even though by today's standards they are outdated, there are still are alot of impressive mechanical effects that are not seen much nowadays.Personally this is a rare remake that's superior to the original. It's almost up to par with David Cronenberg's The Fly. I personally would buy it, its slick, funny, and of course slimy lol.MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 OUT OF 5
