THE BLOB1958
The film
An alien lifeform consumes everything in its path as it grows and grows.
I love Steve McQueen, but this is probably the least intimidating creature/alien/ gel-thing ever. I’m trying to put myself in 1958 and imagining how different movies were then, but this didn’t work for me at all, and then basically wraps up super quickly in the end. I hear the remake is a lot better.
On HBO Max.
