Saw the 1988 remake of The Blob again which I hadn't seen since the late 90s or so.
It's from that time and lineage of 80s horror that's all about special FX and gnarly kills and The Blob has at least 3 that are kinda worth checking the movie out for because they are ducking great.
Other than that, it probably doesn't sound promising, but it's better than you think it is with a production value and performances that are a bit above standard genre fare. It can't compare to The Thing or Evil Dead, but still enjoyable even if the last half drags a bit.
Also kinda fun to see Kevin Dillon (Matt's brother) in a leading role.
