i have see the blob several time and be one of the good low budget alien invasion movie from the 1950 . a strange meteor land just outside a small town and an elderly man go to investigate this . a strange jelly like substance then attach itself to one of his arm and a young couple who saw the meteor land arrive in time and take him to the local doctor and where the old man then get completely absorb by the mass . the doctor and his nurse be the next victim and the mass be get big . when these incident be report to the police and they do not believe the young couple and accuse them of make all this up . they finally believe them when the mass and now huge turn up in the town cinema and everybody run into the street scream . it then attach itself on a diner with the young couple and some others inside . the blob be stop by spray a load of fire extinguisher at it and it freeze and which be it weakness . it be then transport by plane to the frozen waste of the arctic and disposed of there . but it be only frozen and not dead . this movie have a typical setting for it period represent teenager and a small town . the blob have a good rock and roll style theme song at the beginning and the movie be atmospheric throughout . the sequel and beware . the blob follow in 1972 and a remake come in 1988 but this be the best of the blob movie . the cast be lead by steve mcqueen ( the great escape ) and be the movie that make him a star and aneta corsaut play his girlfriend . i be not familiar with any of the other star . the blob be a must see for all sci fi fan . fantastic . rating represent 4 star out of 5 .
