The Blob

The Blob has returned in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect, the Blob does only one thing - and it does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves: men, women, children. And tonight it wants to swallow Arborville whole. The original version of The Blob thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 1950s. Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a whole new high-tech look. What was once only suggested now comes to life in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of such classic remakes as The Thing and The Fly.

    I'm melting...I'm melting.....

    Chuck Russell is and has always been an inventive director. Hidden behind the splattering of blood and guts lies a thoughtful and artistic master. The Blob, a remake of a b movie (in many ways the remake is still a b movie - but grade A), lures you into a false sense of security. The opening sequences of a quite small town are beautifully shot and an eerie soundtrack ads to the build up. You are introduced to the usual suspects - The heroine, the hero, the police chief, the hobo, the mechanic etc quietly and efficiently before hitting you with a speeding train full of brains and entrails. I loved this film when I was younger and with a certain nostalgic view still think it holds up now. The special effects are spectacular and inventive and it gives you a good few urgh moments. Beautiful. I advise you to watch this one with your parents so they then understand what a sicko you really are.
