Action Horror Sci-Fi Thriller

6.4 / 10

Meg Penny is a cheerleader out on her first date with one of the football players, Paul Taylor. It doesn't go very well. Before they get where they're going, an old vagrant runs out in front of Paul's car, screaming in terror. The old man is closely followed by Brian Flagg, the local teen rebel, complete with long hair, black leather jacket, motorcycle and tough-guy attitude. Paul blames Brian for chasing the old man, but after the threesome takes him to the doctor's office, it becomes clear the vagrant had more to worry about than some young tough. He was screaming because of the acid-like substance on his hand - a substance that spreads over his body and eventually consumes him. Soon, the growing red blob, which sprouts tentacles to attack its victims, becomes a menace to the small town of Arbeville, Colorado. The military soon arrives in Hazmat suits, led by the wide-eyed Dr. Christopher Meddows. They're from the government, they say, and they want to help; but Brian's distrust for...

Steven King's IT and the 1988 Blob. Those are probably the only 2 movies I cannot watch. And the Genesis--Land of Confusion video. (Not the remake) - @Wednesday, October 26, 2011 9:57 PM

There are few movies that can really frighten me, considering it's can be fairly easy to psyche yourself out of what you are looking at. This movie really bothers me though. I think the scene that made it most fearful was when the girl was swallowed and reached out toward her boyfriend. When her boyfriend grabbed her hand, he only pulled her arm out of its socket. Eeeew. That's one way to kill a relationship. IT and The Blob are the two which would give me a month of nightmares. - @Wednesday, October 26, 2011 9:54 PM

@Weist96 Meh, it didn't build that great. IMO, it was just a giant blog going NOMNOMNOM. There were some good parts, like the sewer, and the end, but ya. Now that I think about it, it definitely wasn't the worst, but not the best. - @Tuesday, January 11, 2011 6:18 AM

@DylanVanella A little aggressive there sir. You speak with such passion about the classics. Yet in the very next sentence you're positively vulgar. If you spoke like that in England you'd be sent to the naughty chair and of that there is no doubt and I tell you this young man - you wouldn't get up until you said you were very sorry and you'd have to mean it. Think on and look sharp. Goodbye... - @Tuesday, August 17, 2010 10:49 PM

@Cinemysteria Nooooo.. :"The Thing from another world" and John Carpenters "The Thing" are two different movies. The thing from another world is just some alien dude killing people but the thing is an organism that takes over human bodies. - @Friday, June 25, 2010 5:22 PM

horror films suck!! They always do the stupiedest things in them . They no a killers in tehroom and lo and behold they go in there alone in the dark so the killer, monster, alien can pick 'em off 1 by 1. 2nd the killer always has ****ed up reason for his/her murdering (Jigsaw claims he not a killer he asct like 1 leave it to a serial murderer to not think fo themselves as a killer go figure.) These films are a waste of money and time the cash could be used on a documentary or a comdey. - @Tuesday, September 22, 2009 7:38 AM
