Pop That!

For our fourth and final Slasher Summer episode this season, Viddy Well Film Blog’s Aaron Haughton returns once more to break down our last “Remake That Rocks”: Chuck Russell’s funhouse sci-fi gross-out The Blob. Russell’s late-80s remake of 1958’s “The Blob” proves the old adage: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Acting as a sort of counter-programming to the onslaught of teen slashers and franchise horror movie villains popular during the time period, “The Blob” is content just to scare the hell out of you with a gooey monster and a ridiculously fun premise. It’s time to Pop That on 1988’s The Blob.
