THE BLOB

1958 US HMDB
September 10, 1958

A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve and his best girl, Jane, as they try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave refuses to believe the kids without proof.

A gelatinous substance falls to Earth, devouring everything in its path and spreading panic. Nothing seems able to stop it, but when all seems lost, it is discovered that the creature can be destroyed with cold. A simple but rather original idea for a film that is closer to science fiction than to horror. The great Steve McQueen is the protagonist. A fun and enjoyable movie. A curious note: for years, some scenes from this movie appeared in the opening sequence of the cult TV show "Blob".
