i'm just saying...
I remember this film being a lot better when I saw it as a kid. Now I know better.
Anyway, this was a sequel to the classic 1958 movie with Steve McQueen. A chunk of the original blob is brought home by an expendable black guy. The Blob immediately proceeds to eat his cat, his wife and then him before being discovered by the hapless kids who try to warn everyone of the danger.
While the McQeen version was played as straight drama, this one is played for comedy. Except it wasn't funny. Instead, what you have is a lot of vignettes with eccentric characters who seem largely oblivious to what is happening around them or anything they might have picked up in acting school. The movie ends with the blob being trapped in a skating rink before someone turns on the ice machine and freezes it.
Bad cinematography, bad acting (even by the good actors like Dick van Patten and an uncredited Burgess Meredith).
