The Blob n°2: Le retour du monstre

As one of the screenwriters, this film surprised even me. It's beyond campy. What started out as a reprise of an old television show called "Space Patrol," turned into "Midnight Movie Massacre." It was an interesting transition to say the least. I wrote Space Patrol and by gosh it's in the movie... up on the screen in a theater where a bunch of folks go to watch it. Then a monster (from Mars as it turns out) lands on top of the theater and begins to eat the theater goers one at a time. I must say the film does look good. Some of the scenes go a bit far with the gags (and I do mean gags). All in all, though, it isn't too bad. I hope it will come back to haunt me one day as a screenwriter.

Midnight Movie Massacre is mesmerizing...it delivers exactly what you expect in an oozing campy cult classic. Its not intended to be anything more than than what it is...a b movie about b movies...and frankly its fantastic.

editing, characters, dubbing, antiquated effects are all on point. There is also a pacing to the film which is perfect for a midnight movie to get lost in a trance or chat over the film.

the rest of the critics need to take the stick out of their a$$ because they simply don't get it.

I first saw this film on TV when i was about 10. I was watching it with some friends in a tent, and we had a huge extension cable running out the TV in the tent. oh we had such a cool night, eating biscuits, drinking coke, being scared of this film. Come to think of it, i dont think any of us were scared, but we were entertained. Doubtlessly if i watched this film now, 10 years later i would probably switch it off. But when i was 10, after that night, this film became only spoken of in whispers. This is how i want to remember it.

I bought a VHS tape of this, still in the box, at a dirty little junk store downtown a couple of years ago. I thought it might be interesting from the cover art. I was wrong. Imagine Mars Attacks! with less intelligence, money, and acting talent. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is the horrifying image of the fat woman in the theater constantly pulling something long and white out of her nose. Max Crumb, eat your heart out.

This film has just been released as a three-pack DVD called MISSION MARS COLLECTION, which includes "Flight To Mars" "Attack From Mars" and "Invaders From Mars" and this film is somewhat amusing. It should in no way be considered anything other than a comedy which would appeal to any fan of 1950's science-fiction and horror films. The other review claims a movie audience member with a couple of "horrifying" attributes, when it is actually two different audience members, not one. Not a good comedy, but a fun little film if you are a fan of cheap schlock...like I am. This is yet another "classic" from the Wade Williams collection!
