I really had such a great time watching this film. It is very interesting that this is the film debut of Steve McQueen, good old Steve, good old badass. A typical story of 50s SF... a meteor falls down in... America of course, it is actually a protoplasmic blob and it's hungry! And guess what, blob's favorite food is human flesh, wow... Of course, police would not believe a bunch of young kids, so the blob will spread and made a disaster in the small town. I found this film entertaining, funny and unusual. Why is that? Because it is pretty rare, the rare idea for a large jelly mass to spread all over and eats everything in it's path... We usually have monsters, giant insects... all that stuff... but a large jelly blob? No way! It's interesting that the sequel was released in 1971, but, it didn't do any good. This one is better. Go, Steve!
