Review Summaries
"THE BLOB is a movie directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. in 1958. McQueen and Corsaut see something falling down from the sky. It's actually an egg containing a substance that grows by absorbing human flesh. While the blob is killing more and more citizens, Steve McQueen try to alert the authorities of the town. But nobody believes him."
Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
