Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Blob returns--more outrageous than ever in this 1972 sequel to the popular sci-fi classic! Plenty of familiar faces, including Larry Hagman (who also directed), Burgess Meredith, Dick Van Patten, Robert Walker and Shelly Berman, add to the fun. A geologist (Godfrey Cambridge) unwittingly brings home an unusual frozen piece of debris from the North Pole. But when it accidentally thaws, the hungrier-than-ever blood-red Blob comes to life again, consuming nearly everyone in its path and terrorizing the town. No one is safe as it crawls into a bowling alley and oozes its way across an ice rink, becoming grotesquely bloated with the blood of its victims. Can this bizarre creature ever be stopped?!

3.0 out of 5 stars Blob vs Hippies, May 4, 2004

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Cindy Williams, Shelley Berman, Dick van Patten, Burgess Meredith and other familiar faces get together in this direct sequel to the original Steve McQueen movie. The original blob was taken to the frozen north. An oil worker finds something strange in the permafrost and brings it home where his wife doesn't want it in the freezer. Well, it thaws, and after a fly and a kitten, the creature moves on to human prey.

This is a strange film with camp pushed to its limits. Nothing is safe from the creature in this small town and nothing is same from the film makers. Hippies, hairdos, hobos, and the strangest barber since Monty Python's Michael Palin are just the tip of the iceberg is this strange film. There is even a clip from a certain Steve McQueen film. It fits into the blob scenarios the same way that Godzilla vs The Smog Monster fits with the rest of the Godzilla films.

The effects are pretty good (foreshadowing those of the remake) but the acting and pacing make it more like a sketch comedy version. This is like a case of the moth and the flame, you know it is bad for you but you are still drawn to it. Check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to get a good laugh at the Move that JR Shot..., January 4, 2007

By	Eonic Man (New York City) - See all my reviews

When I was a kid, I loved horror movies. I even collected those monster trading cards. There was only one movie that scared me and that was Beware! The Blob! I don't know exactly why it scared me. So I waited and waited expecting it to come on tv again after all these years. So I figured, buy it and get a kick out of it. So if you want to get a movie just to get a good enjoyable laugh check it out. Larry Hagman did a good job as director in the flick.

3.0 out of 5 stars Best viewed under the influence, February 18, 2001

By	James Baker (Highland, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An intentionaly funny stab at horror from Larry Hagman, it works as a comedy, and you can't really treat the Blob as anything else. This did terrify me as a child on Sat afternoon TV, and the humor was lost. But put this on today with some friends and a little alcohol, and you'll laugh until your sides hurt. The basic Scooby Doo "its the kids against the MAN" plot takes off from the original, but the fashions are much more groovy. I kept expecting Shaggy to show up with a "Zoinks!"

And keep your eyes peeled for the numerous cameos. A great example of a GOOD cheesy movie.
