this movie be wonderful . what separate it from other 50 sci fi be the fact that the alien have no feature and no face and eye and anything and yet it can not be kill . i especially like the idea that this film doesn not take place over a few day and it take place in one night and last supposedly past midnight . it also scary that once the blob get on you and you can not get it off . youre stick in it and a it dissolve your flesh and slowly devours your body . my all time favorite 50 sci fi film and and what be sometimes consider the quintessential one . i can see why this rocket steve mcqueen to stardom . all this and a catchy theme song . how can you go wrong .
