What was Scary in '58 Is Campy Fun Now
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed."The Blob" was considered quite scary in 1958, but even then it was more fun than anything else. The plot is thin, the story line is predictable, the acting is average at best. However, there is a sense that Steve McQueen in the lead role was going to be heard from again, and his girlfriend--Anita Corseaut--had potential. Both would move on to bigger success--McQueen to Superstardom, and Corseaut to "The Andy Griffith Show". This is a movie that was never designed for awards or critical praise, and it is still the same today as in 1958. It is, most of all, a fun science fiction romp in small town America and a Coke and popcorn film to watch on Saturday night.

Blob
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This is my first horror film with my father. Steve McQueen, The Blob. No other film deserved an upgrade than this one. You watch one of Hollywood’s greatest actors. Picture fantastic, sound mind blowing for how old it is.

Great Saturday Movie
||Posted .This is the classic blob you remember, Steve McQueen is young, the story kinda hokey, little to no plot, but hey its a fun movie for Saturday. This is a clean transfer. Colors are bright and vivid. The sound is great for a movie of its age. Would highly recommend to any one who wants to stroll drown memory lane or has an open saturday afternoon.

a little scary if you are very young
||Posted .I saw this movie when it first came out and I was about 10. I had nightmares for quite some time. Now that I am an adult and watch the movie it is very enjoyable to watch. I find it a classic movie to own.

Fun Revisiting
||Posted .My wife and I enjoyed watching this sci-fi classic from our childhoods. It was especially enjoyable because of the high def remastering of this film and even more to see "Steven" McQueen in the movie that started him on his road to an illustrious career.
