Plot: THE BLOB is one of the quintessential films for lovers of those science-fiction/horror/monster/camp films of the 1950s. A red, gigantic, gooey, gelatinous glob arrives from outer space and proceeds to terrorize a small town. The more it eats, the more it grows. Local teenagers, who have witnessed its obscene display of hunger, are ignored until it seems that it's too late. Can the local bad boy (Steve McQueen, in his first leading role) save his 'burb from the sinister slime--and reform himself in the process? A perennial favorite of Saturday afternoon horror shows, the film is still a joy to watch, as the young McQueen battles his parents and the big protoplasmic hunk of Jell-O.A mass from outer space grows in proportion to the number of humans it devours. THE BLOB was Steve McQueen's first major starring

 While not nearly the best horror film of the decade its an okay timewaster with a cult following that includes many memorable scenes including the movie theatre attack. Suffers somewhat from a sluggish blob creature which until the 1988 version isn't asmuscular or downright nasty.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
