I'd like to say that I enjoy both the Blob movies. Simply because the Blob is a great concept for a monster. It's gross, quiet and munches on people with out leaving bodies around. The thing I enjoy about this movie is how they improved on the monster. It's faster,more scary and gets far more screen time than in the original. Since you get to see the Blob eat people in gory detail, it's almost scary. The rest of the movie unfortunately reminded me of formula 80's teen horror. You have the hoodlum, the football player, the cheerleader, the smart aleck little brother, the housewife mom of the last two and on and on. The amusing thing is how the original also wallows in 50's teen movies cliches as well. Some things never change in Hollywood I guess. I liked the twist on the plot about the Government agents and their agenda with the Blob. It reminded of similar story lines that X-Files would do a billion times. Only this was before X-Files(which borrows greatly from bad sci-fi and horror anyway. In a good way, might I add.) Overall monster A+ the rest of the movie C+
