The Blob remake wasn't set in 1958! (Was it?) Damn good remake though. Probably more fun than the original. There are a few decent remakes out there, but for every good one, there are 6 to 18 bad ones. My faves would be My Bloody Valentine and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I've only seen parts of the TCM remake, but recall being pleased. Haven't given the MBV remake a chance, tbh.
It's been awhile since I saw the Blob remake, but remember them wearing 50's clothes, per se. If memory serves me, per se.

Are you thinking of the 1970s blob remake when you question the 1950s era of original?

BTW I actually think the 70s blob IS an uderated remake.

Nah, I actually never saw the 70s version. Just the '58 version (which was okay), and the '88 version (which was more than okay).

Never saw it? Enjoy:

The Blob remake is awesome. I also enjoyed the TCM, MBV, and F13 remakes.

The F13 remake (which could theoretically pass as a sequel), is definitely flawed, but it could've been a lot worse. Derek Mears was a great Jason, that's for damn sure. If only it was less polished and had a Harry Manfredini score, it would've been great.

Yeah, I kind of hated it back when it first came out, but after a rewatch, I discovered it's not that bad. A flawed flick, yes, but nothing terrible. I'm trying to remain optimistic about the new F13 coming out next year. It's only been delayed like a jillion times!

I haven't even heard any talk of it lately, but rather that dumbass sounding show they're (probably not) working on. You know, the one they want to put on the CW, where they can't have gore or nudity? And where Jason wont even be in it? Yeah, that turkey...

A F13 show could be awesome, but they're doing everything they can to make it not awesome. Ugh!
