When
Chester Hargis' wife makes a mistake and takes the container labeled
BIOHAZARD DO NOT UNTHAW out of the freezer and leaves it on the
kitchen counter, she has no idea what she has just released. It
seems old Chester has had a piece of the blob in his freezer for
about twenty years for some reason or another and the little glob
of Jell-o is hungry. After snacking on a fly, a kitten and then
the Hargis’ themselves, our little blob is starting to get
bigger and hungrier and he is headed into town for a little fast
food.
This
delightful little sequel begins a few years after the first The
Blob. No major heroes this time around as the story more
or less follows the blob as he rolls and oozes around town eating
hippies, jive turkeys and members of the man at will. Hey, you
really couldn't have a select diet back in 1972.
The
best scene in this whole stinkpile is when a hippie with a mass
of hair that a family of chipmunks could live in wanders into
a barber shop and leaves a little more than hair in the drain.
Somewhere
between horror, sci-fi, camp and comedy lies this little gem that
is as bad as it is good, and that’s putting it mildly.
Beware
the Blob is miserable, but not painful, you'll chuckle at some
of the horrible scenes and dialog, but be amazed at some of the
stars that have cameos in this film, including Burgess Merideth
who plays a drunk gay hobo of some kind. I guess one could blame
the director of such a movie, and who would I blame you may ask?
Well how about J.R. himself, Larry Hagman, so what in the hell
can you really expect from a movie that has a monster that at
times looks either like a spilled can of tomato soup or a ballon,
but it does have a great ending.
