“We’re the government and we’re here to help”. The most terrifying words.
Fun fact: that’s my wife sitting with the dude spoiling the movie in the theater. First job in Hollywood lol.
That’s awesome
I love how the word "shit" was getting bleeped but a man getting pulled down a 10cm drain was fair game lol
You're correct, Kat. The movie theater scene is iconic, because it was also in the original 1958 version of The Blob with Steve McQueen. 😊
And there is a showing of the Blob every year where the audience runs out afterward. It's in Phoenixville, PA, where parts of the movie were filmed.
@@bfdidc6604 I have always wanted to go to Blob Fest.
I like the detail in the original that the blob starts off without much color and then turns red after it's dissolved people. So gross.
You might remember seeing it during the drive-in scene in the movie Grease. It’s trailer is running while Danny and Sandy are making up after the dance.
And RE: Steve McQueen, he's pretty good in that original film, but it does break the 4th wall a little too much because his character is also called "Steve".
What you thought was the brain in the blob was actually the ring that girl was wearing as a necklace in the car. Lol 😂
"Paul is our lead!"
- "Paul is not our lead..."
31:44 "Sorry, I can't hear you over your karma!"
When she said that I laughed so hard that I had to rewind the video to catch the parts I laughed through.
"we love her!" Yes, Meg is an underappreciated Final Girl
Now this is how you do a remake. You look at the original, you elevate it, and strive to make it entertaining. Then you cover it in gore and horrors beyond human imagination.
Oh yeah, the remake got all Cthulu on people with the reaching, grasping tentacles, that opening flower bit in the sewer... it took me YEARS to build up the bravery to watch this.
I haven't watched either version. Which one should I watch first?
Exactly ✌️
@@gamestation2690 I tend to default to the original in such cases. I take it as the baseline, essentially.
@@gamestation2690 the original . it was one of the few 1958 movies done in color (back then color film was still extremely expensive. and despite popular belief being taht color tv ushered in color film , it didn't color film existed as far back as the late 30's). honestly the 58 version's effects also hold up great as a PG-13 movie (low gore but that's not what the movie was rated). Just saying if you look at it as a pg-13 movie the effects go pretty far. . then dive into the remake .. it's quite high on graphic core in comparison.
I love how Kat started this journey as hating horror movies but now is secretly a fan. Zombieland is a fun dark humour film, hope you give it a chance.
Personally I prefer Shaun of the dead but Zombieland is fun (I have both)....
Another good one is "Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse".
Shaun of the dead is good too. Both crack me up
this recommendation makes sense as we have seen from the rest of her reaction videos that the Zombie genre has clearly become her favourite Horror sub-genre
This was a fantastic suggestion!!! I had almost forgotten this 80's gem.
Gotta go down the comedy rabbit hole. Idle hands, scary movie, ahh zombies, etc.
Funniest thing with this movie, is the director said to the location scouts he wanted a town with a football field next to a cemetery, (plus a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember)... the reaction was it would have been impossible to find a town that exactly matched the demands.
Apparently it took about 2 days, and they accidentally stumbled across Abbeville, Louisiana which had absolutely everything the director demanded.
Also, a lot of the indoor scenes were built on small sets because of budgetary limitations... so outside the windows they used forced perspective miniatures and painted backdrops, placed literally inches from the outside of the windows, and when the cameras moved around they would move the miniatures on rails, to make it seem as though they were in real locations.
Oh, edit: The scene at 8:55 is a miniature as well :D
What I loved about the movie is that nobody is off limits.
The main boyfriend of the lead girl is killed, kids get killed... it makes you feel as if anything can happen.
That phonebox shot though was insane.
This movie traumatized so many people who saw it as kids. Usually "less is more" when it comes to horror movies, but this movie showing what exactly happened to you if this thing got you made it so much scarier.
My son was 9 or 10 and going through a scary movie phase. I saw this was going to be on HBO so I sat him down to watch it. I described it as "a ball of jelly that eats people" and he thought it sounded stupid. Complained all thru the beginning of the movie... he got quiet when Paul saw the old man in the hospital bed.. then as the Blob is eating Paul, I hear my son say under his breath "that is the coolest shit I've seen in my fucking life!"... Then he looked at me horrified knowing he said something he shouldn't have...
I let it pass that ONE time! 🤣🤣
He LOVED the movie. The next time I was buying him a movie he picked The Blob.
Oh and the original Blob was a classic case of "less is more".. There are only 5 on screen deaths and you only actually see it on 3 of the people. And aside from the old man, only very briefly.
The remake went the complete opposite direction while still honoring the original.
@@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace That's as funny as anything from the movie TBH 😆😆
Right? The idea of being digested alive unable to do anything but scream from under a blanket of burning slime is branded in my brain as a core fear for nearly 30 years now thanks to seeing this movie all the way back in elementary school
Why are people watching them so young??
This movie reminds me of why practical effects always terrified me more than CGI.
The real horror of this movie is thinking a stick in the door is going to work. Loved your reaction to that. 😂
Don't underestimate the power of the Stick! 😂
Reminds me of a quote from a MST3k episode: "Aah! A tiny stick! Run! Cancel the invasion!!!"🤣
@@goji8416 Lol!
AWESOME! You completed my trifecta of gruesome 80s remakes of 50s horror! :D (The Thing, The Fly and The Blob!)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is another great remake.
@@bunnygrill that is a great remake too (though 70s and not very gruesome so isn't part of that trifecta) :D
Yes, that is the trifecta of ultimate 80s horror remakes, they don't get any better than those. The Fly 2 isn't THAT bad, and has some good gruesome effects at the end. Too bad the Thing and The Blob never had a sequel, I would love to see that happened, Blob even ended with a cliffhanger ending so it could have tagged on a sequel. EDIT - I'm not counting the Thing video game or the Thing prequel or the Thing comics.
I also like Tobe Hooper's remake of Invaders from Mars.
My favorite genre of horror is 80s remakes on 50s sci-fi horror movies that use amazing practical effects, have some of the most gruesome body horror and start with the word The
LOL, Kat. That little metal piece of something you thought was a "command center" (brain) of the blob was not what you thought it was. That was actually one of those fake school rings that gigolo dude had in that scene in the car when the blob ate him and the girl he was trying to schtup. They were just showing that was all that was left of them at that point, nothing more.
Paul and the Sheriff dying early on is really good at setting uncertainty at who can be the hero, and the kid dying is another huge subversion of expectations.
Paul's death is one of my favourite practical effects ever.
"Sorry, I can't hear you over your karma". I LOVE that you said that! I will use that phase! I will find ways to use it!
The remake of The Blob is actually a pretty good little horror picture, written by Frank Darabont
We had to pause this reaction several times because we were laughing so much. "Dregs of humanity. Get him, Blob!" Gold.
Guy wanted to cop a feel, the blob wanted to cop a meal.
So excited to see you react at the kid in the sewer. Kind of shocking because kids are usually off limits.
and that's why this film scared me when I was a kid. :O
It's still a bit of a taboo. The only horror movies I've seen recently where kids are killed are in the It movies and Doctor Sleep, both written by Stephen King. King gets away with it! :P
@@angelwolfplays6456 hereditary as well.
It is a taboo. But I remember the kid in Jaws (1975) on that floating thing, a kid thrown in a pool in Aligator (1980) and several kids in Piranha (1978) All of which I saw as a kid, which was traumatizing 😱😂
@@angelwolfplays6456 King doesn't treat his young characters as children. They're equal to adults.
This remake is childhood nostalgia/memories for me love your reaction to it. This remake is up there with The Thing and The Fly remakes.
"How do you kill a blob? An acidic blob?"
Spray it down with a strong base. Soapy water! Same thing I'd use against the xenomorphs.
Except the blob isn't exactly acidic. It's a biological corrosive enzyme. Similar to how an amoeba works.
Paul's death was the last one they filmed. By that point the FX crew was so experienced with the materials they were using that it made the death so much more gruesome. It was a bit of a bait and switch since the boyfriend is the hero in the original, so many audiences were as shocked as you were when he was killed off so early. This video went into a lot of detail about how the movie was made: ruclips.net/video/HL1knEirJXY/видео.html
Great reaction. That's my poor friend Candy that gets eaten in the phone booth. I can't take that scene. She's such a sweetheart.
Your "Get him Blob. Get him" was awesome. ❤ "That's what you get" 😂😂😂
I got to meet Shawnee Smith (Meg) at the Houston Horror Film Fest last week and she STILL loves this movie so much. I don't know why it doesn't get more love! The effects still look great, the writing is solid, and even if you've watched horror movies your whole life, it STILL has twists and subversions. Paul and the sheriff?! Those were totally set up as main characters, or at least characters to make it to Act 3!
I really like how you watch movies that aren't franchises. There are so many great movies that stand alone. Keep up the good work
"I can't hear you over your karma!" Gold. Solid gold.
I love this movie! The lead actress is Shawnee Smith who would later go on to play Amanda in the Saw movies!!
I'll be damned! I didn't even realise it was her!
Me neither. The shock.
She was also in the original The Stand mini-series.
And Iron Eagle 1985.
This is one of my favorites to watch every October. One of the great horror remakes from the 80s
People say remakes always suck. This is one of my examples to the contrary.
Really, when the remake is much better than the original, the world forgets the original exists. e.g. Nobody says watch 'The Thing from Another World'. They say watch 'John Carpenter's The Thing.'
@Waldorf-2020 one of the best remakes in history just like the thing and like 2013 evil dead alot don't know and brings em back to the ogs
23:30 The chattering guy in the theatre went to the special hell.
If you know, you know.
Phantoms with Ben Affleck and Liev Schreiber is a must after seeing this movie. Also a very underrated movie from 2005 called "Feast" is creepy and horrific as it gets. Also Kat, don't forget about the movie Mama.
"Affleck! You was the bomb in Phantoms!" 🤣🤣🤣
Both are great suggestions.
@@LordVolkovlove the reference 😂
"Phantoms" was badass. Nice to know someone else liked it.
"Hey... wanna see something?" 😂
You can never miss the mark with 80's horror movies!
yeah you can.
@@banonKING At least not with those who still hold a following after all those years ^^
This and Croenberg’s The Fly are the gold standard of how to do an amazing remake
Don't forget The Thing!
@@JDelwynnand Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
True, but those three are the best of the 80's!@@richardb6260
I nominate Alex Aja's "The Hills Have Eyes" and Jaume Collett-Serra's "House of Wax" as well.
0:54 Look at how proud she is of her stain joke 😂
I live a few miles away from where the original Blob was filmed at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA. They have Blobfest every year in July to celebrate the film where people run out of the movie theater like they did in the movie.
i really enjoy all the details you pick up on that you clearly learned from watching horror movies (like the title, the fact that it is a remake, the credits reminding you of "event horizon")!
i suggest you should read up on frank darabont, if you haven't already (he co-wrote the final draft of the script together with the director chuck russell). darabont was involved so many great movies, either as a writer or as a director.
on recent viewings i noticed that i love how the mass and power of the blob is shown in this movie. especially the two scenes with stuff breaking in half (the M16, then the deputy), it is so visceral (also the scene with the clogged pipe)!
8:20 "It's going to slurp off of him."
24:30 "Oh it's so big"
Archer - PHRASING!
1:26 I've now got an almost Pavlovian response to Kat doing the touchdown gesture, she starts every livestream with a similar one. You know something good is coming...
14:25 mins in
Kat: "that's a badass way to get in a chair"
Trekkies: we call that "the Riker maneuver"
Horror was never as amazingly disgusting as it was in the 80s.
Human centipede is more disgusting
@@Pinkielover Not at all in the same way. It's trying to shock and provoke you in it's grossness, it has different energy from stuff like this.
Amen… also have you seen Brian Yuzna’s Society? 😈
@@Pinkielover As a huge fan of that film…a standard CSI episode has more gore than The Human Centipede
@@thevoid8578 Wow, good suggestion! Didn't Brian Yuzna do some of the Reanimator sequels too? Those movies and From Beyond are some other good ones for weird grossout stuff too.
The deputy near the end of the film is Paul McCrane who became the Melting man in Robocop after driving into the toxic waste silo..appropriate seeing as the Blob melts it’s victims.
Love this film and for a film of this genre it’s actually really well written with set up and payoff and a bunch of likeable characters who you actually care for when they die..The bait and switch with Paul the high school jock getting killed early is great 👍 and the practical effects are amazing for the most part.
I’ve seen some comments here saying this as good as Carpenters The Thing, personally although I very much enjoy The Blob it’s just not on the same level as The Thing imho. The Blob is extremely enjoyable Schlock whereas The Thing is a tightly written exercise in claustrophobic, paranoid terror…plus it has Kurt and Keith David in it 😉
Funny reaction as always Kat…nice to see your channel steadily growing!
This is such an underrated movie. It's basically been forgotten, so it's nice seeing some people starting to react to it.
One of the reasons it's so good is that one of the writers was Frank Darabont, the guy who did The Mist and the early (good) seasons of The Walking Dead, and was the script doctor for Saving Private Ryan. He also reportedly did an early treatment for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, which Spielberg loved and Lucas hated. Since Lucas was the producer, they didn't use it, and instead used Lucas' story. And we know what happened with that.
I love that they mess with your expectations. Everyone thought the football player was the lead. Everything pointed to it. Then slurp. Not the football player. The waitress and sheriff who seemed to have a big subplot going? Nope, blob food. And having it eat one of the two kids? Movies never kill off the little kids. It's that idea that anyone can die, so who knows what will happen that makes the ending so good, because you have no idea where it's going to go. (No, not the bit with the priest... the ending, the thing with the snow making truck.)
Another fun creature feature, done very tongue-in-cheek but still a great action romp, is Deep Rising, from the guy who did the Brendan Fraser version of The Mummy. The CGI is a bit primitive, although at the time it was really good, but it's still loads of fun. It's the oft-used thing where you put a lot of people in a contained space that they can't easily escape and add monsters, then have them be picked off one by one. But with snappy dialogue, fun situations, and good cheesy action.
If you want to go the other direction (creepy but mostly serious, with some really disturbing bits), try The Color out of Space with Nic Cage. It's an excellent Lovecraft adaptation. Or for a fun but cheesy Lovecraft adaptation, starting the ever-popular Jeffrey Combs, try From Beyond. Also stars scream queen Barbara Crampton and Ken Foree (the black guy from the original Dawn of the Dead, or more recently the brotheler in The Devils Rejects, sequel to House of 1000 Corpses.
Speaking of Jeffrey Combs, you might also check out The Frighteners, from Sir Peter Jackson (the guy behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy), who got his start in silly, over-the-top gory horror. It's the first time he had a real budget. Stars Michael J. Fox, with some fun actors in supporting roles. Again, somewhat primitive CGI, but it was pretty good at the time. (We really need to stop judging 20-year-old CGI by today's standards, don't you think? It's like comparing Adventure for the Atari 2600 to Baldur's Gate III - at the time, Adventure rocked!)
13:31 Kat got me dying 😂😂 when someone gets in your face what else are you supposed to do
Universally Bad Idea no.1206-a: "what the hell is that? Ima poke it with a stick!"
Motor cycle guy is Kevin Dillon, Matt Dillion's brother. Kevin also played in the Doors movie (based of the 60's/70's) as John Densmore - Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison. Matt Dillon was in the Outsiders and Tex amongst a lot of other things.
My suggestion that just randomly came to mind is Creepshow (1982). It's a lot of fun, not particularly scary, kind of comedic, but also kind of gruesome in parts. And it's a Stephen King/George Romero collaboration, so it's wonderfully entertaining.
Great suggestion actually!! Particularly because I think one of the shorts in the original Creepshow was the one with the raft where the monster was essentially The Blob except able to swim & all its victims were trapped in the middle of a lake
11:14 literally almost laughed myself to tears with the point to the imaginary wristwatch 😭😭😂
edit: AYO LOL NOT YOU PREDICTING THE MANLY LICK OF INTIMIDATION 💀💀💀
The blob coming out of the theater is an iconic shot… from the original The Blob movie.
Hi Kat, yeah this is one grusome horror movie! 80's practical effects are the best. I loved your reaction :) other 'creature features' I highly recommend you react to are Piranha (1978) - a mutant species that terrorises a lake resort & Lake Placid (1999) - a giant crocodile inhabits the wilderness... Both are similar to Jaws in tension building, big scares and amusing comedic moments.
That moment when you realize the hero isnt actual the hero, since he's just died... really really horribly.
This movie scared me as a kid (and some scenes still make me look away), but even at the time i appreciated the horror conventions breaking. Always loved how the blob looks like chunky meat, this movies VFX run the full gamut from superb to 'lol what?'.
"OMG You're a kid... You're literally 11"... but he's also a boy, and having been an 11 year old boy myself once... we did/do say and think such things at that age lol.
"I can't hear you over your karma" LOL
Learning Frank Darabont did this is interesting. Jeffrey Demun who plays the sheriff here was also cast as the prosecutor in The Shawshank Redemption, Harry Terwilliger in The Green Mile, and the man who runs into the grocery store to warn everyone that there's SOMETHING in The Mist. He was also in early seasons of the Walking Dead. A couple more cast members of TWD are in The Mist too.
"Paul is not our lead." I literally shot Coke outta my nose XD
Honestly, that scene was such a smart piece of horror writing, 'cause the movie is straight up saying, 'No one is safe.'
I just wanna thank you for these videos Kat. Good wholesome fun all around.
"Sorry, I can't hear you over your karma" 😂 Formally recommending 'Slither', 'Feast', and 'Phantoms'...
"...and that's what ya get, let it be a lesson!" Lol love it 😂
The original 1958 version of _The Blob_ is an absolute classic, and a lot of fun. It stars Steve McQueen in one of his first major roles. I highly recommend you check it out when you have the time.
The metal piece you saw in the blob as it was entering into the storm drain was the ring that the pervert gave Vicki in his car.
"Paul is our lead!"
Gotcha!
That was a fantastic rug pull. Everyone knows the quarterback is the lead!
I was twenty years old when this movie was released and really enjoyed it at the time. If you like the 'creature feature' and 'teens saving the day' genre mash-up, I recommend 'The Faculty' from 1998 - a fun and suspenseful monster/horror.
Another great reaction, Kat. I’ve got an 80s cult classic recommendation for you: Night of the Comet. It is a particular genre of horror films that was just getting popular but before they all started to be “samey-same” like they are now. I think you will enjoy the 80s vibe with a cool horror story as well.
"Speak up! I can't hear you over the sound of your karma!" 🤣🤣🤣
Somebody t-shirt that
Kat: "I can't hear you over your karma." You kill me, girl.
I absolutely love this movie. Such a great script. Things are set up and paid off in such a satisfying way.
And the practical effects are top notch.
I give you ten hierarchy of people we care abouts out of ten melty skin like bubblegums!
Just tremendous work as always Kat!
Hah! I just realized the Theater Manager in this movie is the lead Wheeler from "Return to Oz"
"I wheel! I wheel!!!"
Anyway, this movie freaked me out when I was 7 years old. So good job watching it!
Laughing out loud rn bc everytime Kat says "Oh, I like this person. Nothing bad better happen to (them)," they immediately die ten seconds later..😉🤣🤣🤣 So glad you watched this girl, I knew from the start you were gonna love it..
A movie that had no right being as good as it is! Solid all the way thru with stunning, even by today's standards, visual effects!
1964 The Haunting
1980 The Changeling
1974 The legend of Hell House
I'm surprised that there hasn't been a remake of the Blob in recent years as the 50's version ended on a very environmental note - they ship it off to the artic and the army commander states something along the lines of "as long as it stays cold we will be safe".
There was BEWARE THE BLOB
Your "appalled" but low key "LOVE IT" face, is my favorite!
Actually, let me rephrase that. Your "I love it" low-key "appalled" face is favorite.
This movie really freaked people out because it killed a kid in addition to many likable, innocent people. It's common in horror flicks now, but not so much in the 1980s.
(You are most attractive when you are innocent and clueless.)
Every movie you react to gets better and better!
I am already very fond of you Kat, so please understand how your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on RUclips!
Best to you- ♡
Part 3 of the trilogy of best remakes ever, with The Thing and the Fly. Also three of the greatest practical FX films of all time!!
The original - starring Steve McQueen - is the source of the iconic image. That version's not a patch on this remake though. It's one of those movies that's just much better made than it really needed to be.
11:47 Wow Kat, literally no regards for your fellow sister as long as the man gets punished! 🤣
@6:00 "i like paul, Paul can stay" roflmao
I saw this movie on VHS back in 89 I think. Then I saw the main character as a quirky support character in a TV show (Becker). I had no idea that was her. Then I saw The Blob again years later - knowing that was her completely changed the movie for me.
Hi Kat! I had never seen this, but I agree that the crowd of kids fleeing the cinema pursued by a giant blob gurshing out the front doors is an iconic image. Thinking about it, I want to say it's from the trailer for the 50s movie. I recognize Kevin Dillon from "Platoon".
In 2017 they made a film ‘Life’ where a blob like creature is captured by the Space Station crew. It is indistructable as the crew finds out the hard way! I believe it was inspired by Blob.
Creepshow-2 - The Raft episode - also features a similar creature. It’s terryifing. Also Stephen King’s The Mist features otherwordly mutant gargantuan phenomena at the end; not quite blob like but close. But the Creepsgow2 creature is a stuff on nightmares, the ending is not for those weak in stomach.
Seeing this and The Thing when I was 9 made me love creature features/special effects.
Happy you decided to watch this one it's one of my favs, I think I have recommended it before but I will recommend it again another 80's masterpiece The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Again, Kat, Stephen Kings' CHRISTINE is a MUST watch! Also, OVERLORD will have you cringing and reacting from start to finish! There has NEVER been a horror war movie like OVERLORD!
hahah "i cant hear you over your karma" xD
What a cool movie!
9:17 -- (sly Hannibal Lecter smile) ---- "Not anymore.."
Growing up, this was one of my fav more modern monster movies, along with The Deadly Spawn, another great and disgusting (but lesser known) man-eating creature movie. Also, there's Night Of The Creeps and From Beyond, which are great as well!
I you bet are a blast to go on a movie date with .....I mean that in a completely "rated PG" kind of way.....I saw this movie when I was in the fourth grade back in 1989 and it scared me to death at the time.....watching it with you all these years later made it seem like I was watching a comedy movie instead of a horror flick....awesome job..you've earned my subscription!!!
25:05 "riph it, RIPH IT" lol
One of the most terrifying horror movies I saw as a budding horror fan in my preteen years & solidified my fears of being digested alive & amorphous monsters able to stick to any surface & slip through any crack! Particularly memorable because of just how many members of the cast end up as fodder, young & old alike. The Blob kills what they make you think is the lead & even a kid with no one spared in between. Both the sewer & phone booth kills stick with me to this very day. If you liked this movie, I highly recommend the movie “The Stuff” as well for similar horror triggers
24:20 you're probably thinking of the original 1958's The Blob. Which is remembered for being a very early role of iconic actor Steve McQueen and for being a notable B-horror movie that wasn't filmed in Holllywood. The small town in Pennsylvania still maintains the original theatre that the crowd ran out of.
Yes. It is a rather iconic movie moment.
I've never seen this film, so i only have this cut to go by. But I'm impressed they actually made some teenage characters that are nice, and likeable, and who behave responsibly. That just feels so uncommon in horror films, where they so often just give us unlikeable fodder who we are eager to see killed off. Which is crazy! You obviously elicit a more horrorified reaction when the audience cares about the people in danger!
'Bucket of melting juice' made me LOL
Yes the people being chased out of a movie theater by a blob is iconic! More specifically to the original 1958 version though (Yes this was a remake and the original starred Steve McQueen!). They weren’t even going to include it in this version until Shawnee Smith (Meg) told the director that that was the scariest scene of the original to her!
"save the rat!!" what in the hell were they supposed to do exactly? lol
Your reaction to the folded in half backwards death, that was always the one that got me. I hated that death. Your reactions are so fun to watch with how expressive you get. Amazing!
2:15 - This cheerleader is actress Shawnee Smith, who stars in the famous "Saw" movies (Pts. 1, 2, 3, 6). A series you should most definitely cover on your channel.
12:28-12:34 "What do you think, he's going around with a bucket of melting juice to pour on people?" And then Walter White entered the chatroom! lol 🤣
So glad you enjoyed this one! It's one of my favorites!
