The Blob (1958)


A horror directed by Irvin Yeaworth.
A globular monster emerges from a meteorite and begins to consume the residents of a small town.
The audio was good and amazingly, the video was in color.
This seems to be the basic structure that all horror-monster movies are built around. The young witnesses are unbelieved by the police until the situation escalates to a certain level and a solution to the problem is found by accident. This early rendition of that plot was pretty clean and I liked the intro theme. Seeing how the year is 2010, though, that plot is so over-done it's not even funny. I'm rating it o.k. for being pretty good, but blending in with the crowd.
