Saturday Graverites!

The Blob (remake 1988 ; 95 brain eater) : I had a hard time choosing if I wanted to use the original or the remake because I love them both but I decided to go with the remake. This is a remake of the 1958 film,it's directed by Chuck Russell and stars Kevin Dillon, Shawnee Smith, Donovan Leitch, Jeffrey DeMunn, Candy Clark, Del Close and Joe Seneca. Meg Penny is a cheerleader out on her first date with one of the football players, Paul Taylor. It doesn't go very well. Before they get where they're going, an old vagrant runs out in front of Paul's car, screaming in terror. The old man is closely followed by Brian Flagg, the local teen rebel, complete with long hair, black leather jacket, motorcycle and tough-guy attitude. Paul blames Brian for chasing the old man, but after the threesome takes him to the doctor's office it becomes clear the vagrant had more to worry about than some young punk. He was screaming because of the acid-like substance on his hand - a substance that spreads over his body and eventually consumes him. Soon, the growing red blob, which sprouts tentacles to attack its victims, becomes a menace to the small town of Arborville. The teens are trying to warn the townsfolk and nobody wants to listen The military soon arrives in Hazmat suits, led by the wide-eyed Dr. Meddows. They're from the government they say, and they want to help but Brian's distrust for authority figures proves justified when he learns that their true motives are to cover up what is happening and contain the creature because it is the spawn of a secret government germ warfare project. Enjoy!
