Product: The Blob (1988)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent!
My guess is, this great film got bad reviews from the critics.I can't imagine why.THE BLOB is a remake of the original Steve McQueen movie. The plot deals with the town hoodlum, who makes a terrible discovery....a government experiement that started out as a biological warfare virus, but turned into something MUCH more deadlier.For me, this film really works. The government conspiracy themes, the "town in utter chaos" theme and the general gore of it all are ingredients for a fine horror film. Even though THE BLOB has that late-80's horror atmosphere, the plot devices get past all that and make a HIGHLY enjoyable and entertaining movie.Reccomended.
