The Blob (1988)
"I think....you pissed it off."

Join Angel as she watches and discusses The Blob (1988), a remake of the 1958 scifi, horror classic. Starring Kevin Dillon and Shawnee Smith as two high schoolers from different crowds who end up forming a bond and working together to try and save their small town when an acidic, blob like creature begins destroying everything and everyone in its path. Directed by Chuck Russell, with cinematography by Mark Irwin and special effects credited to 91 artists, The Blob is an incredible, creative visual treat, that's so horrific you won't want to look away....but WHAT exactly is it and WHERE did it come from?!? Let's find out!!!

What are some of your favorite movies that use practical effects well??
