The Blob is back in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to Earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect, the Blob does only one thing – and it does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves: men, women, and children. And tonight it wants to swallow the town of Arborville. The original version of The Blob thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 1950s. Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a whole new high-tech look. What was once only suggested now comes to life with state-of-the-art special effects in the tradition of such thrilling remakes as The Thing and The Fly.
“A great B-Movie with an A-pic budget, The Blob is back with a vengeance.” – Variety
“A marvel of practical effects and gore, The Blob is the rare remake that surpasses the original.” – Trace Thurman, Horror Queers Podcast
“Stunning practical effects work, a great story with great characters, and a huge sense of fun, it’s a shame that The Blob doesn’t have as big of a following as it should have.” – Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
“An 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.” – Marisa Mirabal, Birth.Movies.Death.
“Isolationism and false security are as much the targets of the ’88 model blob as hobos and horny jocks.” – Eric Henderson, House Next Door
“An old story retold with a fresh voice, eager to make improvements where they’re needed and unwilling to tamper with scenes that don’t.” – David Cornelius, Popcornworld
