"The thing on that man's hand killed him and then it killed Paul, and whatever it is, it's getting bigger!" - Meg Penny

Why watch this? The original was creepy. This 80's version is gory and terrifying!

Plot Summary: A small town faces a deadly threat when a meteor crashes nearby, releasing an acidic, amoeba-like organism. This creature consumes anything in its path, growing larger with each victim. As panic spreads, a group of townspeople must find a way to stop the unstoppable menace, while also dealing with shady government scientists attempting to capture it.

Dad's Preview: This re-make of The Blob is superbly unconventional. After a meteor crashes on earth, a gooey, red mixture starts graphically dissolving human beings. The fate of the world (apparently) rests in the hands of a motorcycle-riding teen trouble-maker, Brian. Where the original avoided how the blob dissolves humans, this one embraces it!. We graphically see folks killed in numerous sickening ways... which, of course, is AWESOME! (remember, it's just a movie...)
