Review of The Blob

The Blob (1988)
2/10
Disappointing, and mean, too!
19 September 2009
I watched this film 20 years ago and loved it then. Finally got hold of a DVD version and watched it again. What a disappointment! Guess my perspective has changed over the years. Found it badly directed even for a B-movie. The plot does not keep you interested throughout, too much of the action takes place either on the mountains or in the sewers. the killings by the blob get to be boring. I particularly disliked this time around that some very good people get killed, people I thought would be around trying to nail the blob. The last killing was particularly unnecessary and annoying. Guess the producers had a very mean streak in them with all these killings of good people. Still like the ending, though. But overall, very disappointed with the film, although the special effects were good.
