Review:
A strange alien jelly blob terrorizes a little town. The teens are onto the blob, but the adults just won't listen. Seriously...who would make up a story about a giant jelly-like blob that is attacking folks (except for the writer of this flick of course). The movie is cheesy, tame, and everything you'd expect from a horror movie made for squares in the late '50s. Still worth a gander for history and sci-fi buffs! The remake is possibly slightly better but both have their own kitchy appeal.
