Product: The Blob (1988)
Rating: 4.0
Terror has no form.
Breathe, while you still have time to scream. This is a great updated remake of the original (it's an "updated movie" if 1988 fx can still hold water). This is a great substitute for the original since a lot of 50's movies won't hold a new crowd since they generally are black and white, a little too sweet, and have pie plates on strings for UFOs ( thank you Ed Wood! ).This one can hold its own. It has violence, but not gratuitous, and some language, again not too much. It also has a nice eery feel and takes place mostly at night. This is definitely one for the teenage horror fan collection that can be taken out and savored every now and then.This one fits in well in the category of John Carpenter's The Thing.
