Who's Gonna Clean This Up?
Ok, so it's not the Steve McQueen version, but this is still a great movie! It does take gore to a new level, so I don't recommend watching it during dinner. For the most part, it followed the plot of the original, but then changes from an alien, to something more terrestrial and sinister. The plot then deteriorates to the ol' "Government Cover-Up".... Oh well, you can't have everything. Still, the effects of this movie make it worth watching. The cover shows what Shawnee Smith (Meg) runs into when she attempts to assist her boyfriend. She saved at least a part of him, but the Blob got the rest. The scariest aspect of this movie is how it ends with the crazed minister, and his sermon about Judgement Day - very alarming....looks like he has a little pet....
