"There's a man here with
some sort of a parasite on his arm, assimilating his flesh at a
frightening speed. I may have to get ahead of it and amputate.
No, I don't know what it is or where it came from." –
Dr. Hallen
Why watch this?
It's a creepy, slimy, oozy horror flick that will make your skin
crawl.
Plot Summary: An
alien lifeform crashes on Earth in Pennsylvania inside a
meteorite. It resembles a giant blob of red jelly. As it
consumes living beings, the blob grows larger and becomes more
aggressive. Teenagers who witness the creature's destructive
power struggle to convince the disbelieving adults and local
authorities.

Dad's Preview:
The BLOB... the more
it eats, the bigger it grows! It will take the combined efforts
of law enforcement and some local wise-cracking teens, including
hunky Steve McQueen, to find a weakness and stop the oozing
terror! It's
campy, spooky and gelatinously wonderful! |
