It’s a cheesy creature feature with disgustingly stunning practical effects. If you have the stomach for it, it’s a fun ride.
Much more fun than the original. Plenty of memorable effects and even some unexpected deaths. The cheesiness just adds to the entertainment.
Gory '80s remake. Improved effects, more action. Still B-movie fare. Shears' lead forgettable. Fun creature feature, lacks depth.
A very fun 80s horror film. Frank Darabont’s script sets many hooks and pulls no punches.
Enjoyable remake with some admirably grotesque gore scenes, never scary or particularly thrilling but entertaining from start to finish
A pretty good remake of the original. A good watch
One of the few remakes that is better than the original. So much to enjoy here
A fun creature-feature with some excellent practical effects. Some of the VFX are dated, but it’s good for what it is: an 80s horror movie
One of the most scary films I watched growing up. This legit gave me nightmares and still haunts me to this day. It's great
It has 80s campy moments, and some outdated special effects, but the scenes of the blob consuming things are great. Good cosmic horror.
