Russell\u2019s late-80s remake of 1958\u2019s \u201cThe Blob\u201d proves the old adage: if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it. Acting as a sort of counter-programming to the onslaught of teen slashers and franchise horror movie villains popular during the time period, \u201cThe Blob\u201d is content just to scare the hell out of you with a gooey monster and a ridiculously fun premise.
