first off and i hadn not see the blob since i be 7 or 8 and view it a an adult be an incredible experience . page could be write on it influence on horror film even today . and even more could be write on it social subtext with the 50 fear of teenager . but this simple little tale of interplanetary horror be still a damn fine scary movie if you let it be . sure and it look cheesy a all get out in our modern world . but the blob pack in some genuinely frightening moment a a band of kid track the unstoppable creature when then adult do not believe them . in fact and there be even some pretty bleak moment in it candy color world . and steve mcqueen give so much more than the story deserve on paper that we the viewer really get catch in the moment and believe in him . to sum up and if you can take off your postmodern irony filter and there a lot more to love here than meet the eye .
