I've never seen this. I'm impressed.
|
Old_Zircon - 2016-02-16 Same here, it looks much better than I always assumed.
|
Nominal - 2016-02-16 Why would you assume less from Cronenberg?
|
Binro the Heretic - 2016-02-16 This wasn't a Cronenberg. This is from the same guy that did "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors".

Nominal - 2016-02-17 Somebody tell me why the fuck I thought this was The Fly?
|
Old_Zircon - 2016-02-17 It has that 86-88 major studio gore movie look.

This actually had decent effects, but the acting in the original is still surprisingly good. A giant metaphor for communism.
A really good idea for a sequel would be to have it take place in the universe of the original where they ship the Blob to the Arctic at the end and have the Blob melt because of global warming, go into the ocean, and seek out cities around the globe to pop up and just absorb millions of people. Maybe the Blob can separate into chunks that take on different cities.

Old_Zircon - 2016-02-16 The original was also conceived as satire, and is arguably one of the first modern horror comedies.

In retrospect, this was a super fucked up movie for 8 year old me to have watched.

I always respected that they killed off a little kid - and in such a gruesome way.
|
Binro the Heretic - 2016-02-16 And I was shocked when the generic "hero" guy became the second victim.

This movie kicks ass, thanks to this and "The Raft" from creepshow 2 I developed an unnatural fear of slimy blobs as a kid.
|
poorwill - 2016-02-16 The Raft is really great.
|
|
Old_Zircon - 2016-02-16 The Raft is fantastic, and the original short story is one of my favorite things Kind wrote, too.
|
somedongus - 2016-02-16 Also somewhat related is Kings short story 'Grey Matter', where an alcoholic drinks a bad beer and begins to mutate into something that craves warm beer and dead cats.
|
Old_Zircon - 2016-02-16 Yes, that one is also excellent. King's short stories from that period, the ones that ended up in Night Shift and Skeleton Crew, were mostly pretty good, I always liked them much better than any of his novels.
|
Old_Zircon - 2016-02-16 The Body is fantastic, too, even I lean toward believing the plagiarism accusation (it really doesn't feel like anything else he had published up to that point, including the other stuff in Different Seasons).

the deaths are great, but honestly after the theater scene the remake shifts from a pretty clever subversion of monster films to "man is the true monster, also greenscreen" snorefest.
|
|
Nominal - 2016-08-13 That is a wrong opinion.
