There’s Always Room For Blob
Just so you know, Beware! The Blob (aka, Son of the Blob) is the silly 1972 sequel to the very serious The Blob, an American sci-fi classic, which came out in 1958. In fact, they used the same blob for the follow-up. I thought that thing would’ve dried up after 14 years. Maybe it had a lot of preservatives in it.
A sample of goo brought back from a construction site thaws out, gets loose and eats a guy with nice teeth while watching The Blob on TV. That’s funny.
Then the thing grows and goes after two hippies “turning on” in a storm drain. Then it goes after a barbershop where a hippie has come in for a haircut. (I recommend the Sgt. Carter buzz.) The blob comes up through the sink where the hippie is getting the pot and social dissent washed out of his hair and eats his head.
The blob makes its way to the bowling alley where there’s a tournament going on. The scenes of the blob “eating” people aren’t graphic at all, which sucks. It just shows the killer Jell-O™ glopping itself over you, then you’re gone.
Other than that, too many !@#$% hippies. If the blob ate them it’d probably get high. If you want really blob action, watch the original with Steve McQueen. That thing kicks blob.
