In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Utterly wacky, cheerfully moronic comedy sequel to a straight faced sci-fi favorite. Legendary actor Larry Hagman directs for the first and only time, for his neighbor Jack H. Harris, who'd produced the original "Blob" and had been trying for years to get a sequel made. Hagman packed the cast with friends and neighbors, leading to the impressive lineup of familiar faces.Robert Walker Jr. and Gwynne Gilford play our sincere heroes in this story of a chunk of the Blob being transported back from the Arctic by a geologist (Godfrey Cambridge). Very soon, it's able to thaw out, and return to what it does best.The body count is pretty good in this movie, which is occasionally funny but often tiresome. Some scenes don't seem directed so much as improvised. Some of the performances here are somewhat serious, while others are flat out silly. The special effects are variable, and Hagman does let the action eventually erupt into an entertaining feeling of chaos. The tone is established early thanks to the goofy music score composed by Mort Garson. Whatever the movie lacks in technical slickness, it makes up for that to a degree with its loose and fairly good natured quality.The cast also includes Richard Stahl, Richard Webb, Carol Lynley, Marlene Clark, Gerrit Graham, J.J. Johnston, Rockne Tarkington, Dick Van Patten, Del Close (who also turned up in the 1988 "Blob" remake), and Cindy Williams, with cameos for Shelley Berman, Cambridge, and Hagman himself (who plays the young hobo). Sid Haig and Burgess Meredith appear unbilled.Admittedly, a rather crudely made movie, but just the fact that it exists is pretty amusing. It does have some value as a curio.Future cinematographer Dean Cundey was the camera operator for the animal sequences.Five out of 10.

*Spoiler/plot- Beware! Of the Blob, 1972. ('Son of Blob') A technician brings a frozen specimen of the original Blob back from the North Pole. When his wife accidentally defrosts the thing, it terrorizes the populace, including the local hippies, kittens, and bowlers.*Special Stars- Robert Walker, Gwynne Gilford, Godfrey Cambridge, Carol Lindley, Shelley Berman, Richard Stahl, Larry Hagman, Richard Webb.*Theme- Some sequel are equal or better than the original if extra effort is exercised in production.*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Film updated sequel to the 1953 Steve McQueen 'The Blob' movie. The enormous success of The Blob (1958) led producer Jack H. Harris to try to do a sequel, but the project had been shelved for many years. Larry Hagman, who owned the beach house next door to Harris, mentioned that he had never seen the original The Blob (1958). Harris showed Hagman his personal 16mm print of the film. Hagman showed such interest in doing a sequel that Harris resurrected the project. Hagman wound up directing this sequel and doing a small role in it as well. *Emotion- A good sci-fi sequel to the original film premise. The film with its updated special effects, great make-up and good casting make this film very watchable. This film's plot involving the proposed Alaskan pipeline of the time was clever and watchable. Very good comedic situations due to Larry Hagman's great comedic sense of humor. See it. *Based on- Outer Space alien and meteor fears.

Since this is a direct sequel to the original Blob movie, this film picks up almost immediately where The Blob ended. A frozen piece of the Blob is accidentally allowed to thaw out and from there it eats, eats and eats some more until it reaches a climax similar to the famous cinema scene of the original. Only this time; it's a bowling alley.The main problem I have with this movie is that it doesn't deliver anything new really. It's just different characters, a different environment and a slightly different plot.If you really love the Blob and can't get enough; then this movie is for you. If you are not a Blob fan, you may not find much to enjoy in this movie.A mediocre, but slightly enjoyable film. I give it 6 out of 10 stars.

Yes, this is a horror spoof and a seventies horror spoof at that. It is loaded with some big(okay, fairly big Hollywood names like Cindy Williams, Burgess Meredith, Carol Lynley, Larry Hagman, and others) in cameos and somewhat meatier roles. It has a feel that is directly not going for screams but laughter, but all I could muster and muffle were yawns. Director Larry Hagman chose wisely to essentially give up directing and act. There are scenes that are so dark you barely can see Burgess Meredith in his short cameo(and I might add one of the highlights of the film for me). Other scenes are even darker. The music seems to have no relationship to what is going on screen most of the time. The acting, despite having a young Gwynne Gilford and Robert Walker as leads, seems wooden and forced - particularly from Walker as well as some of the cameos. A few of the actors eat and chew their scenes with vigor: Dick Van Patten as a scout master, Godfrey Cambridge as the man who is responsible for the Blob(the monster ravaging the town in the script rather than the man responsible for this blob of a mess), Shelley Berman in a weird scene as a barber, and character actor Richard Stahl really biting off a large piece of scenery as a bowling alley owner. Stahl is the best thing in this film. The story is ludicrous as we go from one in-transitioned scene into another. Look, I know it is for fun, but a movie like this can be fun to watch too. This one certainly wasn't that for me.
