Full Plot Details

Meg Penny is a cheerleader out on her first date with one of the football players, Paul Taylor. It doesn't go very well. Before they get where they're going, an old vagrant runs out in front of Paul's car, screaming in terror. The old man is closely followed by Brian Flagg, the local teen rebel, complete with long hair, black leather jacket, motorcycle and tough-guy attitude. Paul blames Brian for chasing the old man, but after the threesome takes him to the doctor's office, it becomes clear the vagrant had more to worry about than some young tough. He was screaming because of the acid-like substance on his hand - a substance that spreads over his body and eventually consumes him. Soon, the growing red blob, which sprouts tentacles to attack its victims, becomes a menace to the small town of Arbeville, Colorado. The military soon arrives in Hazmat suits, led by the wide-eyed Dr. Christopher Meddows. They're from the government, they say, and they want to help; but Brian's distrust for authority figures proves justified when he learns of their true motives.

Movie Reviews

Sci-Fi Movie Page - 10/10 by James O'EhleyAs far as remakes go it ain't too shoddy . . .
House Next Door - 8/10 by Eric HendersonIsolationism and false security are as much the targets of the '88 model blob as hobos and horny jocks.
Birth.Movies.Death. - 8/10 by Marisa MirabalAn underrated and gory gem, The Blob deserves its place among '80s horror films to be remembered, and to slide back onto screens decades later after it originally crash landed into theaters.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 7/10 by Rob VauxModest, disposable remake of a less-than-classic original... but dammit, evil Jell-O is still so cool!
Cinelipsis - 5/10 by Federico FurzanGreat special effects, iconic hairdos, and a lame script, make The Blob a forgettable remake of the classic alien feature. [Full review in Spanish].
User Review - 10/10 by Ross VEs incluso mejor que child's play...bueno...van empatados...ambas son exelentes
User Review - 10/10 by Bill MThis is one of the best horror movies of the 80's, yeah thats right motherfucker! why are more people not singing the praises of this unusually well crafted genre flick, it's slick, it's gory, the effects are amazing, it's thrilling, exciting, has decent, likable leads including a great badass chick in Shawnee Smith's cheerleader turned blob killer, it's got a great pace, awesome set pieces, and even finds time to be a paranoid sci-fi conspiracy thriller, action movie, and even a sly satire of other horror movies of the era, brilliantly skewering slasher flicks long before Scream did, in short this movie works on so many levels and so bloody well that im pretty pissed off that it's not more highly regarded. So i'll have to heap some more praise then, The Blob is a masterpiece of 80's horror, and a total blast.
User Review - 10/10 by Frederick Zit's a very good horror film especially being made in the 80's i recommended it to all 80's horror fans and Huge Shawnee Smith fans
User Review - 10/10 by Joel CA freakin great horror movie!, it does take about 25 or so minutes to get going but after the first 25 minutes it has a great pace to it. Some of the kills are creative and creepy. I love how The Blob moves pretty fast and the special effects are freakin amazing! and the ending is great too and I also much prefer this over The Thing (1982) anyday of the week, month, year, century etc. I love this movie to death 5 stars! :)
User Review - 10/10 by IsaacOne of the only GOOD remake movies besides Dawn of The Dead.
