Nice effects though.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The first must-see film of the year.

This not a good movie. This is a remake. The original 1958 version is good movie. And the second remake from 1988 is also a very good movie. But this is just disappointing. I have seen some great remakes. And have seen some pooh pooh remakes. And this is just pooh pooh remake. The ending awful. And the acting is awful. Unlike the 1958 version this is not scary at all. The best thing about this movie is that it is a precursor to the 1988 version. Beware a bad movie. It is a wast of time. This is also a wast of money. Do not see it. It is just a pooh pooh remake. There are a lot of remakes that are better then the original. But not this one.

*Spoiler/plot- Beware! Of the Blob, 1972. ('Son of Blob') A technician brings a frozen specimen of the original Blob back from the North Pole. When his wife accidentally defrosts the thing, it terrorizes the populace, including the local hippies, kittens, and bowlers.*Special Stars- Robert Walker, Gwynne Gilford, Godfrey Cambridge, Carol Lindley, Shelley Berman, Richard Stahl, Larry Hagman, Richard Webb.*Theme- Some sequel are equal or better than the original if extra effort is exercised in production.*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Film updated sequel to the 1953 Steve McQueen 'The Blob' movie. The enormous success of The Blob (1958) led producer Jack H. Harris to try to do a sequel, but the project had been shelved for many years. Larry Hagman, who owned the beach house next door to Harris, mentioned that he had never seen the original The Blob (1958). Harris showed Hagman his personal 16mm print of the film. Hagman showed such interest in doing a sequel that Harris resurrected the project. Hagman wound up directing this sequel and doing a small role in it as well. *Emotion- A good sci-fi sequel to the original film premise. The film with its updated special effects, great make-up and good casting make this film very watchable. This film's plot involving the proposed Alaskan pipeline of the time was clever and watchable. Very good comedic situations due to Larry Hagman's great comedic sense of humor. See it. *Based on- Outer Space alien and meteor fears.

I Feel As If The Movie's Awfulness Speaks For Itself. A Giant Blob Eating Everyone. To Be Honest I Have Never Seen The Original And This Was Crap.The Funniest Part Was When This Fat Guy Gets Attacked By The Blob And Runs Down The Street Naked And A Cop Drives Up And The Fat Guy Says "Your Just The Man I Wanna See" And The Cop Replies "Your Just The Guy I Wanna See Too". If MST3K Had This I Bet That They'd Yell Out "If I Comment It'd Just Make Me Look Sad".Overall I Really Can't Describe The Movie's Awfulness Without The Readers Of This Viewing Because Ever For A Movie Entitled "Son Of Blob" You Wouldn't Believe Me.

There are so many things to like about Larry Hagman's "Beware! The Blob!" it will difficult to put it into a biblical context, but I will try. Overall, the movie seems to be retelling the story of the Old Testament with various allusions to the Qur'an and that Tao of Winnie the Pooh book – the film is so richly textured, that at least half a viewing is required to fully absorb all the story has to offer.The movie begins with an attractive black couple enjoying some time alone in their unassuming California home. The man appears to be some sort of beer-loving pipelayer while his wife is a nature-loving kitten freak. This house is the location of the genesis of the blob and the couple stupidly uncorks the canister containing the curious crimson goo. We watch as a creepy little cat crawls onto a counter courting the canister as if it were another feline. You want to scream at the kitten to leave that damn stuff alone, but alas, not only is the cat probably dead by now (the film was made in the 1970's) but he is on the other side of the TV screen AND he probably only understands "meow" – the preferred language of cats.While one's initial analysis of the opening scene fits the stereotype that black people are the first to die in horror films, a closer look reveals that this couple is in fact an embodiment of the biblical Babylonians! The man lives in a pup-tent in his living room stacking beer can after beer can as he gets slowly inebriated: he is building a modern version of the tower of Babel. And the man is rather rotund, not unlike a Goliath. But who will slay this Goliath and teach him that he has taken science too far? Admittedly, there really is no David in the film unless you view the Blob as David which is silly since he has no slingshot. Nevertheless, something said "let there be light" and the blob comes out devouring the cat, then the lovely wife, and then the pipelayer.At this point, it should be mentioned that Dick Van Patten represents the wandering Jew in this film. His New York accent seems out-of-place as he leads a group of rambunctious scouts to seemingly nowhere. You feel like he may of killed his brother as a youth (like Cain did unto Abel) and has been sentenced to wander for the rest of days…until he meets Christian justice in the form of a red blood. Yes, I think the blob may represent Christian justice although it doesn't seem to carry those fancy shields that the Crusaders had. It should also be added that the wandering Jew is a Christian myth born from their medieval anti-Semitism. Why they had to create a red blob to overtake L.A. is beyond me.The protagonists of the film are Lisa and Bobby, an attractive young couple who anger the local capitalist (read Pontius Pilate) and never have sex. This is an important detail as everyone knows that having sex in a horror movie spells certain death. I'm pretty sure they represent Noah and his wife and they are trying to gather townspeople to fight the Blob. So perhaps the Blob is neither David nor a crusader, but a flood: a flood of red pudding stuff that requires that Lisa and Bobby get in their jeep and go to a bowling alley/ice rink to save Los Angeles.The best scene in the movie is the homoerotic haircut that is cut short by the Blob. This obviously proves that the Bible hates gay people (if Leviticus wasn't enough).All in all, there is little need for Church or Sunday school if parents would just expose their kids to this movie. It really is a moving moral tale of two American kids doin' the best that they can. Hopefully, a sequel is forthcoming but it has been about forty years, so probably not. Larry Hagman's masterpiece may be his role on Dallas, but his directorial magic is evident is this thrilling old testimonial.
