Product: The Blob (1988)
Rating: 4.0
A horror movie that is.. well.. horrifying!
Perhaps I only love this movie because I happen to find THE BLOB to be the creepiest of all mosters. Shapeless.... deadly.. consuming all in its path. CREEPY!Just look at the cover to see the kind of carnage you will be seeing in this film. The acting is more than passable for this type of movie, and the comedy is all intentional and kept to a minimum.Russel clearly understands why the blob is so frightening a villain, and he exploits that in gruesome, wrenching horror scenes were characters are entangled and being digested inside of it. The scares are all real and visual based. They arent cheap jump-out-and-go-boo scares, but legitimate, visceral thrills. The music isn't brash shrieking notes just to jolt you, but subdued and suspenseful.Unless you don't find anything in horror movies frightening, this is a horror movie you SHOULD SEE. I'm only 17 so I have no nostalgic attatchments to the lame original.For a MONSTER movie that is frightening, not cheap, thrilling, and visceral, THE BLOB is THE movie to get
