The Blob
HorrorSci-FiThriller95 min
In Arborville, California, a gelatinous alien life form crashes to earth and begins engulfing everything it touches, leaving three high school students to protect their town before the creature spreads out of control. Kevin Dillon and Shawnee Smith are among the teenagers trying to track the threat as panic moves from back roads to the hospital and into the sewers, while officials scramble to respond. This 1988 remake keeps the focus on a small American town watching an impossible disaster grow larger by the hour.
