Personally, I really hated this movie. The effects were pretty bad, but for 1988 they weren't that horrible. The plot was just...stupid. It was really dumb. The acting was not that great, and overall, I never want to see this movie... Full review

The classic 1958 monster film gets a modern facelift in which the major difference is the grade of special effects on display.
The plot remains essentially the same, with a dash of conspiracy and paranoia thrown in for good measure, but the blob--and the full-view digestion of its victims--is more frightening than ever.
