Relatively bad acting is compensated by the awesome Blob and sometimes cool effects,

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I was expecting some seriously cheesy 80's horror garbage but, though it does have plenty of bad 80's trademarks, it is a good horror film. Admittedly the plot is pretty cliche but the special effects are great and really make the film worth a watch. Worth checking out for sure if you're a horror fan and even if you're not, so long as you can stomach 80's movies.

This is great B-movie fun with more than a few memorable parts.

This lavish remake improves on the original in almost every respect; too bad the storyline is so old hat now. Leitch has the Steve McQueen part but after being built up as the hero he goes the way of Janet Leigh in _Psycho_, leaving rebel-without-a-clue Dillon and homecoming queen-type Smith to fill the bill. The great special FX by Lyle Conway and a nicely tongue-in-cheek-but-not-insulting approach do wonders for this old war horse. What a shame it flopped so badly at the box office.

Remake of the classic 50's, dont have the quality and the importance of the original, but it is valid to be a movie very well conducted and fun.

Johnny Drama on a motorcycle with a leather jacket. Might've scored higher if they weren't actually trying to be serious.

The funniest part has to be the utterly guileless attempt at a satire of 80s slasher films, used to set up the witless characters in an utterly brainless monster movie. I can't decide if that's brilliantly self-aware or brilliantly oblivious. This is basically just gory set pieces in between muddled attempts at a story, but I enjoyed it more than I should've.

Great effects, lots of '80s cheesiness, and a couple surprising deaths make it worth watching.

More fun than I expected.

I love the idea of the blob and I was hoping this movie would give it an interesting bite and I wasn't disappointed. The special effects are incredible.

If you're a fan of '80s horror cheese, then this should be right up your alley. Though not quite as tongue-in-cheek as other films of its kind, I still found it to be a fun, though not great, movie. As others have noted, the gore effects are very good.

It's been ages since I saw it, but The Blob remains surprisingly watchable. Kids die, people are liquefied alive, the Blob itself looks pretty gross and there's a lot of creative gory effects. The CGI and stop-motion might be weak, but I was enjoying the overall thing too much to really mind.

Fun gore, but not the best movie out there. Liked the people getting devoured

Only because im a darabont fan, otherwise this would have been around the 70. Tho the effects are still decent, the acting and style is horribly 80's and only gets worse over time. Good for a night with the boys and a crate of beer. A lotta unintentional laughs!

Actually not a bad horror movie although I laughed a lot watching this movie. (Loved the scene where someone makes a phonecall and the door closes behind him. Guess who's behind the door? Yes, it's the ninja blob!)

Some decent blob effects and a silly fairly fun ride. Nothing special but not terrible.
