The Blob (1988)??
 

I liked this movie back in the day, but I dont remember much of it now. I do remember that the special effects were pretty cool. Is it worth a rent or buy???

Eh...I don't think so.

Its a pretty good remake...its has a little bit of that "dumb american teenage feel" ...but worth a buy...

I thought it was pretty good. I have it on VHS. It's still fun to watch

the blob 88 sorta stunk...kevin dillon's face urks me....whenever i think of this movie i remember the image of kevin dillon and the leading lady running from the blob....which is chasing them on the ceiling...it looked like an effect from the 50's...the 70s one is worth a look....i think larry hagman directed it.

i thought it had good gore effects (the Dillon version)


i actually have the 'larry hagman' one on VHS .. its a comedy

watch it again....they're not all bad...but theres a shot from a low angle when the couple is running away from the blob and its on the ceiling....shit is horrible

the 70s one wasnt meant to be a comedy....but between dick van patten and the old black guy, whos hilarious....it comes off as one.

the gore is good, its a fun, stupid film...

I recommend

I watched in recently and I enjoyed it. Some of the effects do look shitty (maybe it was an intentional throwback to the 50s veriosn) but hey its a pretty old movie now. It was another period of horror where there was heaps of remakes of older movies some were good and some were just plain shit. I really liked the Cronenberg remake of The Fly whcih came out around this time. I didn't know there was a 70s version of the Blob I'll have to check it out.

i dont know about the 70s version... but i remember the 1988 version to be real good.
