Profile of The Blob
The Blob can be described as scary and suspenseful. The plot revolves around evil aliens, antiheroes, and deadly creatures. The main genres are independent, horror, and sci-fi. In terms of style, The Blob campy humor. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, in outer space and in a small town. The Blob takes place in the 1950s. Note that it involves mild violent content.
Summary of The Blob
The Blob is one of the quintessential films for lovers of those science-fiction/horror/monster/camp films of the 1950s. A red, gigantic, gooey, gelatinous glob arrives from outer space and proceeds to terrorize a small town. The more it eats, the more it grows. Local teenagers, who have witnessed its obscene display of hunger, are ignored until it seems that it's too late. Can the local bad boy (Steve McQueen, in his first leading role) save his 'burb from the sinister slime--and reform himself in the process? A perennial favorite of Saturday afternoon horror shows, the film is still a joy to watch, as the young McQueen battles his parents and the big protoplasmic hunk of Jell-O.
