  Steve McQueen as misunderstood teen angster finds man with outer space goo on his arm. Takes him to the local Dr. with disasterous circumstances. Talky but McQueen the real deal.Well worth the price of admission. Lack of complete music score big negative, but the story closes well withh satisfactory results. Anita Corsaut also stars. 3.5 stars out of 5.

  As a child I got to see this movie and for months I looked at air/heater vents with terror in my young heart. Because I just knew that I heard something moving in the vents!!!

• Scariest movie of all time.

  My parents took my sister and myself to a drive-in to see this movie when it came out and I was 8. This was the only movie that has ever given me nightmares. My kids have watched it and think it is hilarious that it scared me so badly.

  I recall very well seeing this movie when I was 18, everyone in the theater had a ball, we laughed at just about every scene, scary it was not, even the girls thought it was silly, but fun. Aneta Corseaut (Jane) sure looks a lot younger than when she became a regular just a few years later on the "Andy Griffith Show".

  This was an excellent movie! I loved it all the way through. Full of suspense, action, and comedy all the way through! Two thumbs up!

• One of the MOST exciting movies ever made

  While this movie is going on 49 years old, it is still as exciting today as it was when it first came out. Forget the modern horror, get your whole family around the TV and pop this movie in, you'll all be in for a good time. A nice mix of science fiction and genuine horror, the only people aware that a town is in danger, are the local teenagers who the police refuse to listen to, so they must get everybody's attention before the Blob kills them all. Very exciting, no matter how old or young you are, this is a great film and the whole family can see it, there's no blood, language, nothing perverted, just a bunch of sci-fi fun and some good old excitement and terror.

  Steve McQueen's first movie,was a low budget horror film,released in 1958.On par with War Of The Worlds.The blob is set in small-town America.A meteor falls to earth,and horror ensues..I recommend this film highly.
