Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
What would the average sensible American do if he encountered a pulsing ball of protoplasm from outer space? That's right: he'd poke it with a stick. Thus begins the endearingly earnest and silly tale of The Blob. Young Steve McQueen takes on his first leading role as, um, Steve, a spunky teenager with plenty of heart. Steve sees the blob kill the local doc, but darn it, none of the town's adults will believe him! Yup, it's up to the teens to save the day! Steve and his trusty girlfriend Jane break their curfews(!) and head off into the night to find the Blob and warn the town. The Blob is a completely enjoyable watch from start to finish, offering the triple pleasures of 1950s morals, gee-whiz acting, and a whole lotta extras running around and screaming. The special effects, though primitive, certainly get the job done, and it is still a treat to watch the Blob ooze its way to its next meal. You may notice that the theme song is surprisingly bouncy for a horror flick ("Beware of the Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides and slides across the floor"). It was written by Hal David and a fresh young composer by the name of Burt Bacharach. --Ali Davis

There are a few movies that I would consider very priceless and classic to the creature flick genre, the first and foremost being The Creature From The Black Lagoon and possibly Attack of the Giant Leeches. But The Blob is special in it's own way, not just because it is a classic. What this gave birth to was the sub genre of creature flicks that featured a pathetically stupid antagonist, in this case a gigantic gelatinous pile of goo. This is, in some ways, a science fiction flick too, because The ... Read More

"The Blob" is an excellent sci-fi horror movie. Admittedly, its special effects aren't in the league of today's horror movies. But it doesn't matter. This movie has a great story. It's not so much about the monster as it is about a group of teenagers, led by Steve McQueen, trying to convince their hometown that a monster has invaded it. Its deliberate pacing, by today's standards, nevertheless builds to nerve-tingling suspense. Steve McQueen turns in an outstanding performance ... Read More

This a classic horror/sci-fi film of the 1950's that stars Steve McQueen as the hero who tries to save the town from a blobby monster. One of my favorite scenes is when the blob starts to attack the movie theater. I just love the look of this film, because it took place in the 50's. If you love classic monster films, then you'll love THE BLOB!!!

This is a cult classic, we hosted our 5th annual Movie Night for the neighborhood, showed this and it was a hit! We had a few laughs along the way too. All in all it is a fantastic journey back to our youth, done up with awesome color and sound quality!
Highly recommend this movie if you are into the classics!!

My first memories of THE BLOB are late-nite tv as a child. I love this film and am not ashamed to admit it. Actually, it was a well-made picture for it's day (unlike the 1988 remake). Sure it is a reflection of the morals of that day but it is still fun. Billed as Steven McQueen, it would be the launching point for his career -- into WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, then THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN and the real star maker, THE GREAT ESCAPE. The girlfriend of his character "Steve" (that must have been difficult for McQueen ... Read More
