This is not just one of the best remakes of all time it's one of the best movies of all time. The Blob remake is that rare retro film that is an absolute perfect example of it's time. The basis is the same as an alien organism attacks a small town and grows with each new victim while a bad ass cheerleader played by Shawnee Smith (Saw) and the towns bad boy tries to stop it. The movie has the most amazing practical effects and it's so entertaining. The movie theater scene is one of the best things ever put on film. Sure there's not a tremendous amount of character development or layers but what it aims to do it does and amazingly so. It's edge of your seat, intense and the pacing and confident direction from Chuck Russell (Nightmare on elm street 3) are inspired. It never got the attention it deserved upon its initial release but over the years its become the classic it deserved the whole time.
