The Blob
- Mister Arn4 dgn geleden“The Blob” is a 1958 sci-fi movie with a couple of things going for it right from the start: it's in color, and it stars a young Steve McQueen. The story builds suspense fairly well, but once the Blob grows to a substantial size, the movie starts to get a little silly. The ending is also disappointing, feeling more like the filmmakers decided it was time to wrap things up than to provide a satisfying conclusion. It's certainly watchable, and I enjoyed it, mostly because of Steve McQueen and seeing Helen Crump from “The Andy Griffith Show.” I know it's considered a classic, but for me, it was average.
- clancuthbertson4 mei 2026Extremely cheesy but ultimately fun flick -- if you can look past obvious adults portraying teenagers and the numerous plot contrivances required to keep the authorities completely in the dark until the third act. It's very telling of the nature of authority figures in that era when it came to dealing with teenagers. Never listen to the teens. Teens never have hard evidence. And the monster never leaves a trace of itself. It's a formula that was standard for a lot of early science-fiction flicks.
