When Chester Hargis’ wife makes a mistake and takes the container labeled BIOHAZARD DO NOT UNTHAW out of the freezer and leaves it on the kitchen counter, she has no idea what she has just released. It seems old Chester has had a piece of the blob in his freezer for about twenty years for some reason or another and the little glob of Jell-o is hungry. After snacking on a fly, a kitten and then the Hargis’ themselves, our little blob is starting to get bigger and hungrier and he is headed into town for a little fast food.
This delightful little sequel begins a few years after the first The Blob. No major heroes this time around as the story more or less follows the blob as he rolls and oozes around town eating hippies, jive turkeys and members of the man at will. Hey, you really couldn’t have a select diet back in 1972.
The best scene in this whole stinkpile is when a hippie with a mass of hair that a family of chipmunks could live in wanders into a barber shop and leaves a little more than hair in the drain.
Somewhere between horror, sci-fi, camp and comedy lies this little gem that is as bad as it is good, and that’s putting it mildly.
Beware the Blob is miserable, but not painful, you’ll chuckle at some of the horrible scenes and dialog, but be amazed at some of the stars that have cameos in this film, including Burgess Merideth who plays a drunk gay hobo of some kind. I guess one could blame the director of such a movie, and who would I blame you may ask? Well how about J.R. himself, Larry Hagman, so what in the hell can you really expect from a movie that has a monster that at times looks either like a spilled can of tomato soup or a ballon, but it does have a great ending.
