The Blob
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Chuck Russell
1988 / 95min / DCP
At the risk of courting controversy: Russell’s The Blob is the rare remake to improve upon its original, taking the basic premise of the 1958 drive-in classic—a meteorite crashes to earth, unleashing an acidic gelatinous creature that quickly gets to work devouring everything in its path—and adding an element of military-industrial complex conspiratorial paranoia, some of the juiciest and most insidiously creative kills in the annals of ’80s horror, and Kevin Dillon’s gloriously archetypal loner rebel in a pulse-pounding sewer motorcycle chase that includes a bitchin’ “wall of death” evasion. Put quite simply, The Blob rocks.
Introduction from filmmaker Jenn Wexler on Friday, October 25th
