"The Blob" 1988 remake is quite good.
I had recently got this on order through the library,
on inter-loan.
As I'm rewatching the blob films, I thought hey, why don't I just get this one as well.
When I got it and watched it, I enjoyed it just as much as the first two films. Now mind you, still feel the original film is better story wise, but this was a fairly good remake, re-imagining of the original.
When I was little I had only seen this film and the original film, and liked them both. And still do.
Onto the story, the story takes place in a fictional town called Arborville.
We meet Kevin Dillon as Brian Flagg a sort of outsider juvenile delinquent highschooler.
And also the lovely sexy highschooler cheerleader Meg Penny played by the sexy as every Shawnee Smith. And guys, she looks great in uniform, she has the legs for it.
Everyone is going about they're day until after dark, a meteorite crash lands in the woods where a homeless man (presumably) finds it and goes to investigate. The blob attacks him, attaching it's self to his hand.
Later, Meg is on a date when her boyfriend Paul who accidently runs into him with the car.
Brain finds them while riding his motorcycle but leaves it behind in the woods to check out what's going on.
At the hospital, the blob dissolves the homeless man and takes out Meg's boyfriend Paul.
Soon after the blob starts a blood thirsty rampage killing a few in the woods then they're town!
I give it a 6/10. It's just a fun entertaining movie, again I don't feel it's better than the original, but I like it being more of it's own thing.
