## Description

In a tiny California town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch) discover a strange, gelatinous substance that melts the flesh of any living creatures in its path. The deadly substance gets into the town's sewer system, where it begins growing uncontrollably, occasionally emerging to feast on unsuspecting townspeople. A military clean-up crew is sent to eliminate the menace, but it may end up doing more harm than good.

Review: A disgustingly good time! - It has been a solid 20 years since I originally (and accidentally) caught my first viewing of The Blob 1988. It was being shown as a part of a horror marathon on television at the time and did a great job of satisfying my love for '80s horror flicks. But for whatever reason, I never did acquire a copy until I discovered that it had been released by Umbrella as a part of a bluray re-issue campaign. When I initially saw it, I bought it up immediately and didn't hesitate to put it on. Did the movie live up to the hype and nostalgia after not seeing it after all these years? You're damn right it did! The Blob is a pretty simple concept, like most '80s horror movies. The film takes place in a small charming town. We quickly get introduced to an array of interesting characters, all of them likeable in some way or another. Later on, a meteor crashes to the Earth and unleashes a large gooey beastie that quickly devours an old hermit. This sets up the movie for one of the best gory rampages of the time period as The Blob goes from building to building causing one great imaginative death to another. All the interesting characters make the movie very easy to get into. Each one has their own quirks and the way they interact with one another is quite smooth and believable. For an '80s horror movie, I think the acting itself is quite good. Each role is played convincingly and I enjoyed watching each character on screen. I wouldn't recommend getting too familiar with them however as this is one movie that leaves no character safe. The Blob is looking for some easy lunch and doesn't care who he has to devour to achieve his goal. The film does a great job of subverting your expectations and is a great example of how to do so. The people behind the recent awful Star Wars movies could learn a whole lot from The Blob. The highlight of the movie is of course the visual effects, which for the most part are absolutely stunning. The Blob itself is quite disgusting to look at and comes across as a big sentient tumour. It is quite revolting and was very well handled by the creative team behind it. The death scenes of course are spectacular. Fans of the horror classics The Thing and The Fly will be right at home here. The visual style of the special effects are quite similar in that each corpse looks juicy, squishy and explodes, implodes and dissolves with great effect. It is safe to say that this is not a movie for the faint of heart. One thing I love about this film is the pacing. The Blob is an easy going ninety five minutes long but it really does not feel it. The movie jumps from one gross out scene to another with no holding back and this creates some excellent pacing. With the added humour and fun characters, it makes the movie a very easy watch. I am not one to shy away from long drawn out epics, but it is always great to get a film that doesn't horse around and this is one of those. It does what it does, does it quickly and gets it over with without over staying its welcome. The bluray quality for this Umbrella print is really good. You'll find the film grain found in a lot of '80s movies has been left intact. This means that the new high definition print looks really sharp and extremely clear in places. In fact, it is quite an impressive looking movie in general. I am surprised at how well it has aged. The only draw back is that there are a few moments where the special effects look a little uncanny, but that sort of thing does happen over time and with new sharper quality prints. It is very excusable all things considered. If you fancy revisiting this horror classic, do not hesitate to buy this version of the film. The bluray looks beautiful and it holds its disgusting charm with pride. It's a very well paced movie and is a great time to be had by all, and I literally mean that. I watched this with my ten year old son (at the time of writing) when this came in the mail and we had an absolute blast. It's a good simple honest gore film. If that interests you then by all means, buy this product.
Review: Absolutely great and plays on uk players - Was looking for this movie on dvf or blu ray but the uk versions were really expensive so i got yhis German version. It has German dub and english version as well as subtitles for both languages. It will also play on uk players and was really cheap so very happy with it. The picture is nice and clean and i really enjoyed it great bargain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Blob Remake
*by W***Y on 25 September 2025*

Excellent! Been looking for this 80’s horror classic for awhile now. The case is some kind of Dutch/foreign import but that aside, the movie is very nostalgic for me. Loved it!
