My Review-
I have always wanted to see this film, and now that I finally have I expected it to be a LOT better than it was, and I was a little disappointed at the movie. One thing I liked about was the special effects for the blob which was really good for being made in 1958. This was also one of the first Steven McQueen movie I have ever watched and since this was his first movie he did I thought he did a pretty good job, I really think that this movie could have been a lot better and a lot more fun than it actually was, there were some scenes that I really liked and others I thought did not need to be in the film and I know for the late 50s this was probably the best they could do for a horror movie of that time but today it probably does not hold up that much, it seems like more of comedy now.
