THE HORROR CULT CLASSIC OOZES ITS WAY TO BLU-RAY! A cult classic of gooey greatness, The Blob follows the havoc wreaked on a small town by an outer-space monster with neither soul nor vertebrae, with Steve McQueen (The Great Escape) playing the rebel teen who tries to warn the residents about the jellylike invader. Strong performances and ingenious special effects help The Blob transcend the schlock sci-fi and youth delinquency genres from which it originates. Made outside of Hollywood by a maverick film distributor and a crew whose credits mostly comprised religious and educational shorts, The Blob helped launch the careers of McQueen and composer Burt Bacharach, whose bouncy title song is just one of this film’s many unexpected pleasures.

one of the most memorable of the giant monster films of the '50s, this sci-fi classic concerns a shapeless, flesh dissolving mass that emerges from a fallen meteor and grows larger with each victim it absorbs. at fist scoffed at by the police, teenage hero steve andrews ("steven" mcqueen, in his first lead role) and his girlfriend, jane martin (aneta corseaut from the andy griffith show), enlist their dragracing buddies to alert the town to the danger, before being trapped in a diner that is completely envolved by the blob in the film's spectacular climax. featuring a hit theme song by burt bacharach and hal david, "beware of the blob" and specal effects that are still impressive today, the blob rocketed mcqueen to fame and was remade in 1988.

    Ein Kult-Klassiker! Die Neu-Verfilmung wird den meisten heutzutage jedoch besser gefallen...

  • Noch ein McQueen-Film

    Habe soeben gesehen das es seit etwa einem Jahr auch "Die Hölle ist in mir" auf DVD gibt. In diesem Film gab Steve McQueen sein Filmdebut. Bei den Starangaben fehlt sein Name, die Hauptrolle besetzt Paul Newman.

  • An Enemy of the People

    AUFGEPASST! Steve McQueen's nie wirklich veröffentlichter Film "An Enemy of the People" läuft ab Montag im Zürcher Kino Xenix!!! McQueen sieht man hier in einer für ihn sehr untypischen Rolle. Schade das er nie veröffentlicht wurde. Dank dem amerikanischen Fernsehen habe ich den Film auf Kassette. Für Fans von McQueen ein absolutes Muss.

    Habe mich schon lange gewundert wann dieser Klassiker auf deutsch erscheint. Steve McQueen zog es damals vor eine einmalige Gage von etwa $3000 zu nehmen anstatt einer Gewinnbeteiligung am Erfolg. Etwas worüber er sich danach stets ärgerte. The Blob wurde nämlich ein Grosserfolg.
