No one would look at The Blob and call it “elevated horror,” but it’s arguably making more of a statement than Backrooms.
In The Blob (1958) an ever-expanding ball of jelly terrorises a small town.
AMORPHOUS extraterrestrial aggressors have come a long way since The Blob (1958).
So, as the viewer quickly discovers, life on Mars was probably a total shit show, because this globular nasty—a distant cousin of Steve McQueen’s The Blob—digs on killing everything in its path.
At one point, the town’s inept police force of two discuss the 1958 Steve McQueen movie, “The Blob.”
Just like in The Blob (1958), a meteor crashes down to earth containing an icky slug, and it inhabits the body of local redneck Grant Grant (Michael Rooker).
