The Blob

Quote:
The Blob is an independently made 1958 American horror/science-fiction film that depicts a giant amoeba-like alien that terrorizes the small community of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. It was not until star Steve McQueen became famous with the TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive that the film became a hit at the drive-in theaters.

The film was Steve McQueen's debut leading role, and also starred Aneta Corsaut. The film's tongue-in-cheek theme song, "Beware of the Blob", was written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David and became a nationwide hit in the U.S. It was recorded by studio group the Five Blobs—actually singer Bernie Nee overdubbing himself.

The ultimate 50s B-Movie.

Its so utterly rediculous and over the top only in a climate of Cold War paranoia could these slew of movies have ever been made.

I love how the Blob seems to change massively in size depending in the scene. One minute its small enought to slither in thru a door next minute its the size of a building. Screw continuity.

Also the terrified reactions of people to what is essentially a massive piece of jelly is priceless.

Steve McQueen certainly kept this thing quiet on his resume. A true 50s relic

B+
