Oldham, the writer and director of this sci fi bit about an alien that is a bit like the Blob of old, does a pretty good job.
The character who is infested with the "blob like" creature, retains her form, but the question is whether she also retains some of her "humanity" when her adversary turns out to be her law officer sister.
Add to that the retro salute to the Blob movie of old, with the crowded theater exodus, and a lot of "dark humor", and you have a well balanced sci fi movie.
Will it be remembered? Will it pass a test of time? It probably would if the market wasn't flooded with these movies, of which this one is in the top half, but it could get lost in the shuffle, since it isn't one of those "so bad it's good", and it isn't a "classic". I'd like to see it survive. It's a good sci fi film in an era of ridiculously terrible ones.
