The Blob (1988)
6/10
An enjoyable watch.
11 April 2020
Slasher movies were at the order of the day in the 80's. 'The Blob' is a different kind of slasher film, but nevertheless essentially still a slasher movie.

It's so good to watch a horror movie with practical effects, excellent make-up and incredible puppetry. Although the blob itself is not that good in terms of visuals, the killing scenes - especially - are visually amazing. With regards to the killings, I must admit it was unpredictable, and relentless. There's also very good character development.

As the film progresses, it becomes more intense and action-packed. There are a number of conveniences that could easily have been avoided or fixed, but this is nevertheless a very good watch. Shawnee Smith is a likable hero while Kevin Dillon's character Brian, becomes an unlikely hero. Well done!
