There’s often a moment in a movie that sells it beyond a shadow of a doubt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the 1988 horror remake “The Blob,” that happens when a character you’d bet would make it to the end credits dies in the first act.<\/p>\n

What just happened?<\/p>\n

Director Chuck Russell announced he was taking the remake in a bold new direction, that’s what.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

The underrated Russell (“The Mask,” “Dreamscape”) uncorks a giddy B-movie that makes full use of Hollywood’s improving special effects.<\/p>\n

The Steve McQueen original has its devotees, but the ’50s-era cheese and clunky effects could only do so much for the then-unknown actor (billed on the one sheet as Steven McQueen<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The heart of the film belongs to Kevin Dillon, cast as as the rebellious Brian Flagg. He’d rather defy authority than save the day, but he has little choice when his small town is overrun by a gelatinous baddy from the stars.<\/p>\n

Shawnee Smith proves his equal in the heroism department, giving the film its, oh, so unlikely duo.<\/p>\n
