FILM DESCRIPTION:
In a tiny California town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch) discover a strange, gelatinous substance that melts the flesh of any living creatures in its path. The deadly substance gets into the town's sewer system, where it begins growing uncontrollably, occasionally emerging to feast on unsuspecting townspeople. A military clean-up crew is sent to eliminate the menace, but it may end up doing more harm than good.

What makes Sheriff Herb Geller's death more shocking in this 1988 remake movie of "The Blob" was that like Paul, their actors were both top billed and potentially set up as the main characters in this movie, only for the both of them to end up as victims early in the movie.
For me the "Blob" was the main character anyway.
The actor played sheriff Herb died a horrible death in the blob and Robocop. Cant catch a break.
@@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106 I hate to break it to you, but I don't think I see this actor have any acting roles in the Robocop franchise.
Love it when movies do that.
@@themovieguru1094 You right im thinking paul mccrane he played the deputy in the blob who got pulled through the door like a folding chair. An in robocop he got into that accident with the acid slowly melting then busted apart after getting hit by a car.
I like how 80s horror movies have these high concept death scenes built on different ways of using practical effects.
I wish they did that nowadays- the last one I saw that did this was Colour Out of Space
@@futuristicgirl14it really is a lost art
Absolutely!
I love how you can see his eye moving. He's still alive as he's being digested and he knows what's about to happen to her. Horrifying.
How did it even get him I wish they showed that
@@lexusflorence183 It was set up earlier he was coming to pick her up for a date, he was probably at the front door and the Blob enveloped him.
hes not alive there the eye is moving because of the goo.
That things goo melted through a desk so that guy is D E A D 💀
Yea he's definitely not alive. He's been stuck inside a massive blob without air and also his face is melting. No smart person would say he's still alive.
1:40
"Oh you're looking for the sheriff? THIS ONE?"
At least he responded to the call.
An incredibly rare example of a remake being as good or even better than the original. Jeff Goldblum's "The Fly" is also an awesome remake.
The Thing is other awesome remake.
@@aaaaa-nw8hc John Carpenter's "The Thing" 1982 remake with Kurt Russell. Can't believe I forgot to mention that. Thanks!
I agree it's rare for a remake to be better than the original but in this case the remake crushes the original. Not even close.
I think it's a case of the original deserving a remake, due to not holding up. The movies that get terrible remakes today never deserved to be remade as they still held up. Look at the Hellraiser remake. Or any 1980's film that's been remade today.
@@lordcthulhu627 Had no idea there was a Hellraiser remake. The original was already kind of hard to watch -- can't imagine sitting through the story with today's enhanced visual effects.
I like that she makes some minimal effort to survive, although she understands that it is useless. In most horror films, the characters simply scream and go into hysterics at the sight of a threat, not trying to do anything to help themselves.
She's a stupid idiot for going inside that phone booth in the first place. She was setting up her death certificate.
good luck keeping calm with -1% surviving chance
That's what makes this movie so brilliant. The characters *aren't* stupid. It's just that the Blob is too intelligent and knows how to outsmart its victims. The characters make genuinely reasonable choices that *should* give them an edge to survive but it just so happens they're dealing with *this* kind of monster.
@@Tygermite It's still a stupid move going inside where you are only trapped enough to set up your death certificate.
@@Tygermite Smart? A killer slime chases you after putting one of your employees in the sink pipe, and instead of running to Canada you stop to make a phone call.
Like in the finale, where everyone, instead of taking the car and changing country, locks themselves in the town hall.
This movie is traumatizing as hell…
Facts and I got scared of the sink for a long time cuz of it LOL 😭😭😭😂
And the movie theater
@@marythekanarie5190 🤣😂🤣😂
Bwahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It wasn’t scary
One of the best horror movies ever. Even better than the original in my opinion.
Same thing with IT (2017) Better than 1990 Verson.
@@seanpvs101moviesproduction3 chapter 1 was absolutely perfect chapter 2 was solid up till the final battle with pennywise , that’s my only complaint with the movie
@@drew2875 Agree with you I Love IT Chapter 1 and 2
@@seanpvs101moviesproduction3 Nope
jumpscares ruin any quality it has
@@kenetickups6146 I Dissagree it really Scary and Creative
Here in Brazil there's a TV channel that would air this movie in the afternoon traumatizing all the kids that were home from school. The 90's were crazy af lmao
sessão da tarde?
@@esperthebard Cinema em Casa
Same here in Indonesia, I watched this as a kid lmao
This is an 80's movie not 90's.
@@psb1969 Yes it was released in the year I was born, but it was only aired on TV in my country years later, which means the 90s. Context.
I gotta admit for a movie from the late 80s, this scene is quite horrifying. Especially the ending at 1:54 when it finally breaks through... oof
yeah, nice effects!!! i just don't get why the NES game about the blob (a boy and his blob) it's so cute. the blob it's friendly in the videogame.
Yea. The goofy music and hammy acting kind of take it away, but that scene is still horrifying because you don't really expect implosion. You kind of think it's going to sleep into the booth and we'll get to watch her dying slowly but instead it just all pops and once and crushes her instantly with the glass and the metal and cables along with it. It's completely terrifying. And the floating man just before it was just 🤌🏿
I can imagine the impact force of her from the blob. Like getting hit by a car at 50 mph.
@@eliezerdaniel I'm pretty sure that game has absolutely nothing to do with this movie.
@@eliezerdanielDIFFERENT BLOB
This movie had some of the best practical effects of that era. By the end of the 80s to early 90s practical effects reached its zenith. This film represents that period.
Lesson to be learned, run and don’t stop running, don’t run into a trapped small space. Where there’s no way out.
She thought police could help her as she cannot outrun the blob (it nearly outruns a cheerleader)
So so SO glad phone booths are a thing of the past.
Good riddance.
@@angelr194Well she had like a minute to run and hide somewhere. It was still occupied with the other two.
Not to mention I’m sure other people were close by so the blob could’ve just went after other people.
@@GlobalWave1 well, it's not like hiding is effective against that.
@@angelr194 actually a 1-2 minute head-start can have a decent amount of distance. She was downtown. People would’ve been around as well
When I first saw this movie, this scene made me feel a little claustrophobic at first.
Just "a little"? xD
@@Yezhanium By little, I meant very claustrophobic.
As an aside, I did like that clever shot of the quarter that she uses to try to call the sheriff -- a coin with tails side-up is considered bad luck in superstition.
my guy over here with the eagle eye
Why would you just stop just around the corner, seeing something like the blob I would've been running non stop out of town!
No kidding!! "Let's see, I think I'll stop running, and trap myself in this here phone booth".
In the previous scene it nearly outrun a cheerleader and a biker, she thought Herb Keller could protect her instead of her trying to outrun that thing and fail... but he couldn't.
What a surprise for the Blob if Superman had been in the booth.
just make it eat a bunch of laxatives and it will die of dehydration
it will get messy, yes, but do you wanna live or not?
or Bill & Ted
Or Dr Who
Supes would have frozen it with his super breath or burn it to a crisp with heat vision.
Classic horror movie, made when phone booths actually still existed too
This was much better than the blob coming out of, say, a cell phone.
@@paulkane7771 where does the blob come from exactly
@@mehchocolate1257 well you see, when a daddy blob and a mommy blob love each other very much…
No jk, it was a military biological weapon that was floating around space, it mutated due to radiation then crashed back to earth
@@randall9000 blob s*x😂😂😂😂
I saw this scene as a very young child when I woke up and the TV was on. The image of the sheriff smooshed against the glass by the Blob is forever burned into my memory.
I've seen all 3 versions of this movie the original with Steve McQueen,the one that was like a sequel to that one called Beware the Blob and this remake and out of all 3 of them this version scared the crap out of me as it shows what happens to the Blob's victims as coming into contact with that thing is like touching acid.
Yeah! Even the slightest touch from the Blob would mean that your time is up!
@@77PacerStudiosonly if it can get a hold of you, if the beggar at the beginning of the movie could remove his hand in one swoop he would've survived.
I was so disturbed by this movie as a kid, and horror movies in general don't really scare me.. but man they pulled out all the stops on this remake.
The Blob and The Thing are THE BEST horros of the 80's.
In terms of graphic horror
Hell yeah I agree
And they’re remakes, too.
the fly 1 and 2 belong there too
Now I see why pay phone booths were discontinued.
There are phone boots in so many countries and working till now
I was born in 88 and remember this movie freaking me out as a kid because my parents always loved to watch horror movies until I was about 9 or 10. My whole childhood was Chucky, Jason, Freddy, Ash etc. And now I love these movies lol. Scifi or cosmic horror like this movie, The fly, Reanimator and the Thing are the best
The shot of him outside the glass was actually insane. Freakishly well done.
Sad, she seemed like such a nice person.
Never understood why she basically trapped herself inside the darn phone booth.
My first thought in this situation is get out of town as quickly as possible rather than ask for help through the phone booth(unless get the relatives to pack up their things before leaving the town) and wait for the news the that situation in that town is now safe for them to return home
You can literally walk away from the blob you don't even need to run so hiding inside a phone booth is I'm not the best option
@@senpie6639 it's not that easy
unless you have a trillion dollars you can't just up and leave
That would be a process
@@trenaebowers1968 the original Blob sure this one is quicker and far more deadly
In all honesty the scariest thing about this movie was everyone made relatively smart decisions and alot of them still died but there's always going to be that one idiot who in the heat of the moment doesn't think things thru
1:44 his eyes moved!
I guess your eyes would move too if they float out of the sockets...
When it comes to Hollywood remakes with sci/fi horror there are three that surpass the original: invasion of the body snatchers with Donald Sutherland, the thing with Kurt Russell, and of course The Blob with Shawnee Smith
I've a crush for Fran in this film, and it made me sad the blob got her 😭
"He went down to the diner"
Shows him just getting pulled in..
Classic
The shot of it breaking through is incredible
Lady clearly being terrorized by monster: HELP ME PLEASE, SEND THE SHERIFF!!!
911 operator: He went to the diner *Hangs up*
Lmao 💀
The front desk lady didn't hang up, the blob pressed so hard the booth that the cables exploded, you can see the start of that when it envelops the booth and an electric cable blows, producing sparks.
I honestly think it would be interesting, to have a show series about (THE BLOB) get made, and I think it might be great if many different types, of situations could happen in each season on the series. And most importantly a proper ending written in the storyline for the series.
A storyline much unlike that was written for this movie of (THE BLOB) that was made in the year1988, and it’s because it had a cliffhanger ending to it.
You mean like blobs keep appearing, and try as humanity might, we can't QUITE exterminate them?
It would be a stretch, unlike Jason or Freddy who are nearly invincible or the zombies that multiply this thing is contained by freezing it.
Nice for a movie, lame for a series.
@@angelr194 Then how about this idea, make two (THE BLOB) movies, and they would be shown either on the SYFY network, or on the HULU network.
@@briandaleske5139 well, this one has that ending because a sequel was planned, but the low profits sunk that plan, not even a TV movie made the cut.
Probably one of the most underrated horror movie remakes so far.
How i miss this type of creepy and twisted movies. Pure gore and blood. I love this movie. I enjoy the scenes a lot 😛
This movie made me scared of everything as a kid 🤣😂
A phone booth
Sinks
Movie theaters
Doctor’s offices
jello
The damned scene in the movie theater had me looking up every time we went to a movie for a long time afterwards.
A god damned masterpiece of a remake. Thanks Frank!
This movie is underrated first time seeing 🔥🔥
one of the rare movies where kids don't even got plot armor!
Everytime someone mentions this movie, this scene is the first that pops in my mind. Scared me as kid lol
If you look closely, you see his eye move meaning HE'S STILL ALIVE
Actually is because his skull has melted and the eye is floating out.
2 minutes inside any liquid and you fall unconscious, now imagine breathing acid...
If you listen closely, the Blob is chanting, "One of us. One of us. One of us."
All I hear is gurgling noises and NO chatint
Sheriff Herb finally showed up for the date...why is she upset?? He's only 2mins late.
He's dead.
@@sharonjensen3016nah nah, he’s alive! Just uh, a little pinkish and deformed, here and there
It's ok, they're together now in perfect unity
Incredible shot at 1:54 where it bursts in. Wonder how they shot that. Love this movie as a kid.
They stuck a doll in a miniature booth I believe
Cinematography Genius!!!
As a kid i could never finish this movie...in stages i made it past each death scene....mortified. It actually scared me more than any other horror flick bc you cannot reason with the unreasonable or know the unknown. Encountering this thing usually meant it was too late for you, especially bc it was hyper aggressive in this remake. Kuddos for exploiting air vents, sewer pipes, and cracks under doors. I made my dad move my bunk bed to the side of the room opppsite of the ac vent. Lol
Also, to learn it was filmed in my state...😮😂 ...added a familiar creepiness.
There's just something so horrifying beyond imagination being trapped and _knowing_ that you're about to die and there's nothing you can do to save you. This idea of helplessness fills me with dread.
Fran was a nice character. Too bad she was eaten
If you care for a character that died it makes you feel the stakes higher.
Many horror films of the 2000 had jerk characters dying, you don't feel sorry for them so the movie is much less scary.
Omg forgot how gruesome this movie was back in day scared me as a kid.
When I was a kid I never watched this movie until I was much older because I didn't understand, I thought the Blob was slow and people who ran tripped and fell running and stayed there and screamed as the Blob came and ate them.... Boy was I wrong when I finally watched it, that Blob was pissed for what ever reason, woke up on the wrong side of bed, didn't get his morning Cheerios or something, he wanted all the smoke! lol
Practical effects are so much better then cgi. They produce real fear because it looks real not digital. 1988 effects looking better then 2023. Same thing for "the thing" 1982
Best blob ever
1:42-1:48. Were his eyes moving from the blob or was he doing that by himself?
His eyes were twitching. He was still alive.
@@kyleroberts1276 yeesh, 😬
I think he was dead or close to death. Also, I think The Blob assimilates so slowly because it doesnt know when it will eat again, so it makes the most with what it has on hand.
Also i had goop as a kid very similar to The Blob and even played around with it when I watched the movie.
He was looking right at her, the woman he had feelings for. I think he was a little depressed at this moment..
His eyes were definitely moving from the blob imo.
He was very dead and mid-decomposition. No way he had control over his eyes when his brain was gone. That's why I disagree with other replies saying otherwise...I believe it only looked like he moved because of the blob moving.
I like how they set up a bunch of characters that we love just for the Blob to kill them.
Kinda like Tina Grey in a Nightmare on Elm Street
That's pretty terrifying
I felt like the blob used that man's corpse to emote. It was letting Fran know that it can see her.
0:05 cat spotted
The way her hair flings in disarray with her flailing arms hit by the impactful force of the shattering glass. They did a great scene with this dummy special effect!!!
1:41 Unexpected cameo, Captain Salazar looking for Jack Sparrow.
This is one of the most iconic death scene in a sci-fic and horror movie that I see
1:34 blob: say goodbye to your family
Had a dream this happened to my family in a super market when i was a kid. (Blob eating my parents) Never knew there was a actual movie on it 😂
If the Blob ate politicians, I wouldn't object.
I wasn’t even born yet when this film was released, but I remember catching a glimpse of it on TV when I was in my late elementary school days in the early 2010’s. The drain scene was one of the first things I saw when my mom turned it on, so when the corpse showed up against the the phone booth, I used to think the Blob hadn’t completely digested poor George yet and that it was his body. Now that I’ve seen these clips recently, I can clearly see the Sheriff’s Badge on Herb’s chest.
Who else agrees the scariest part in any movie is when glass shatters and the area over flows with something!
Case in point- Poseidon as the 🚢 sinks
This would never happen today. Haven't seen a real phone booth in like 15 years.
What its like to chew 5 gum. 1:54
That was rather scary. Never saw the remake, but now will have to.
If more remakes had this level of care and updated what the original film did that made them so beloved, there wouldn't be as much of an issue.
It just wants to use the phone 📞
i watched this movie a lot of times when it came out, i need to rewatch it for purely nostalgic reasons. watching this scene made feel like i remember every little detail. lets see what i don't remember 😅
I love this movie, I'm waiting a new remake
i miss it when directors and movie makers had to be CREATIVE to do stuff
Brian is so attractive
People: The blob is coming!!!
Me: get a big Silly Putty can!!!
Her: Occupied...excuse me OCCUPIED
Someone said you ca hear Fran screaming in the blob in the next scene where the priest watches the blob?
That is devastating and degrading at the same time
1:53
Another reference in Despicable me 3 is when balthazar bratt pushed the soldier covered in gum into a room with a bunch of other soldiers and the gum grows pushing a soldier against the window, that scene is a reference to the 1980’s film “The Blob”
the director's filmography is pretty wild, had no idea.
this is only his second movie as a director, his directorial debut was nightmare on elm street III (1987). later he also made the mask with carrey and eraser with arnie. 😮
before nightmare... he produced comedy movies.
still making movies to this day apparently
If you look closely, you can see his eye moving. I think that with his last bit of energy, he looked at fran and died immediately afterwards, since he moves to the right and his eye doesn’t follow her
I think this movie is very unrated, is a master piece not just as a remake , as a horror movie too. I saw it when I was a kid and this scene still gives me chills now I`m 37.
Unfortunately it's not, the first part is ok and keeps you on your toes but the second...
it's predictable, nearly all the characters are unidimensional and the giant blob looks silly swallowing puppet people.
Personally, I find this better than the first one.
From what I've heard about the 50's version of The Blob it sounds to me that the original The Blob sounds like a really boring movie
The cut off scream is on point.
"Mucus minion...congest her, at once!"
Use to watch this movie any chance I got even tho I was scared af when I was a kid
That scared the heck out of me literally!
They don't need to remake this at all with modern cgi, it's terrifying and disturbing just the way it is
They already did. This is the remake. And if they do another Blob movie, it would probably be a sequel to this one.
This Face still traumatizes me!
And it SOMEHOW remembers me to Silva from James Bond: Skyfall!
This was a very good movie.
There's something so satisfying watching someone slowly being digested by space goo❤️❤️❤️
"She looked into the pale face before her, recognizing the moving eyes. It was clear to her she wouldn't die fast, but rather slowly."
Love how her survival instinct told her to stop at the pay phone that is right next to the diner with the blob still chasing her, just keep running down the street, hell run straight to the police station, just do not stop to use THAT phone
Don't know how anyone can be that stupid
I remember this movie how much it's scared me and how many times I closed my eyes
Good ole Herb
Always first on the scene.
Candy Clark in her only role that I can recall besides American Graffiti.
If I have a kid, I will show them this so they will not be able to play with slime ever again
Classic horror movie.. they don't make em like this anymore..
Can you imagine being the Blob and sitting down to watch some T.V. and you see a commercial with kids eating Jello?
1:43 best part
This is a very Mean Movie (like AvP-Requiem too)...i love it 🤟and need more😂
That's why I always believe practical effects are more scarier than cgi. Because it's "real" your brain register that there is an object there but cgi ur brain can tell when it's just an edited graphics added so it looks fake and it's never really scary. We're not there yet where cgi looks real. I think we are close but it just not there 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Technology has advanced but not just in computers. It has also advanced in machinery and therefore practical effects today would be much improved and looked much more improved on film. I would like to see less CGI and have filmmakers be more trusting of practical effects in today’s movies.
@@hieloluna yup agreed 100 percent
It depends, did you detect that nearly all the clothes in Marvel movies are CGI? I didn't.
The problem is when you have a monster or something that you don't know how it behaves in reality, then you start to see the little imperfections.
You may be asking, out of all the things to do, why trap yourself in a phone booth?
Well, for one thing, she couldn't have known this thing grows and slips through the cracks.
And second, not everyone makes sound decisions, especially in panic mode.
