“Beware of the Blob!” One of the great cult classics, The Blob melds ’50s schlock sci-fi and teen delinquency pics even as it transcends these genres with strong performances and ingenious special effects. Made outside of Hollywood by a maverick film distributor, a crew experienced in religious and educational shorts, and a collection of theatrical talent from Philadelphia and New York, The Blob helped launch the careers of superstud Steve McQueen and composer Burt Bacharach. —The Criterion Collection

One of the original it is so bad it is good movies....incredibly colorful, and endlessly entertaining. A true B-movie classic.

my thoughts exactly are that of Michael Gildea's below as follows: "Unless you're a hardcore Steve McQueen fan or love cult classics, there's no reason for you to see The Blob. More silly than anything, it comes across like a polite Rebel Without a Cause that happens to have a formless flesh-eating alien in it." he says it best!
