In Arborville, California, three high school students try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, the trio witness the Blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and the police refuse to believe the kids without proof.

I’d never seen this remake/reimagining of the 1958 classic, and it was great to be introduced to it on the big screen for the first time. Better yet, it was followed by Q&A from director Chuck Russell, who was a great guy and had a lot of insight into the making of the movie.
The practical effects in this are amazing, considering the 4 million dollar budget!
This is really a different take on the original movie, and I liked the plot and how things played out a lot.
I remember seeing clips from this, and The Stuff, on USA’s Up All Night back in the ‘80s, so scenes here and there looked competely familiar.
It was a lot of fun!
