Pros: Brutal remake -- get to see Matt Dillon's brother do a killer bike stunt.
Cons: Warning: Kid Fatality -- might be too nasty for some.
Summary: Warning: Film has a kid fatality. I will say this much -- this is a remake that broke all the horror rules and the main one was no kid fatalities. Chuck Russell gave the middle finger to that in many ways with this movie, much like John ... read more

Pros: Incredible effects work creating a scary monster; entertaining and enjoyable
Cons: Graphic effects work; if you don't like monster movies you might it stinks
Summary: The screen history of the blob is an interesting one. The 1958 original, THE BLOB, is a legendary cult film, noted for its cheesy effects, and for an early performance from Steve McQueen. 1972’s SON OF BLOB was directed by Larry Hagman, an actor known ... read more

Dear Hollywood:
It isn't often I write you, but sometimes I think things need to be brought to your attention. The question of the day is - WHY?
Back in the old days (1958) we had little to fear but fear itself. We were ... read more

Pros: Enjoyable variation of the '58 classic.Blob scenes mostly effective.
Cons: Unless I missed it, could've used an in-joke reference to original.
Summary: THE BLOB (1988)
This remake to the 1958 sci-fi classic (with future tough guy star Steve McQueen) can boast being a notch above other updated versions of the genre. Of course, it does share the same habit of altering the original ... read more

Pros: Motorcycle driven throughout the movie
Cons: Some corny and fake special effects
Summary: I actually saw this movie before the original one that starred Steve McQueen and that was quite a cheesy 50's version. The remake of the Blob however was quite similar to the original with a few added scenes. The movie had some terrific special effects ... read more

Pros: great film for B-movie remake with excellent gore effects
Cons: Some of the characters are weak and superficial
Summary: Many should remember the original Blob made in the 50's starring Steve McQueen. It's an interesting tale of horror and sci-fi about an alien lifeform crashing to earth in the form of a jelly. This small intelligent jam will soon become the world's ... read more

Pros: It's absolutely hilarious
Cons: It wasn't supposed to be
Summary: From the height of the '50s sci-fi monster boom comes one of the most pathetic of all, The Blob, starring a big glob of strawberry jelly and a young, take-any-job-he-can Steve McQueen. The Blob is one of those movies that's aged so badly it's impossible ... read more
