i have read many comment on this site criticize the blob for be cheesy and or campy . the movie have be fault for amateurish acting and weak special effect . what would you expect from a group of folk whose only experience have be in the production of low budget and locally produce ( valley forge pa ) christian short . let me tell those overly critical reviewer that this film never take itself all that serious . that fact should be evident from the mismatched theme music complete with silly lyric play over the opening credit . for what it be mean to be and this film be excellent . i have see a few of the recent ultra low budget attempt and blair witch project be one of them and that have absolutely no entertainment value or intelligent think behind their plot . bwp be pure excrement . the blob and on the other hand and be well think out and well script and and thoroughly entertain . the scene where the old man come across the meteorite and poke the mass contain within with a stick be excellently do and genuinely creepy . the scene in the doctor office with the blob slowly move under the blanket on the gurney while it consume the old man be a cinematic horror masterpiece . bottom line be and i love this movie . i challenge anyone out there to take $ 120 and 000 . 00 and inflate for today dollar value and and make a film anywhere near a entertaining and or as successful a the blob . it just can not be do . period . thank you for take time to read this review .
