Synopsis from the Umbrella Entertainment Website:

In a tiny California town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon,Entourage), Meg (Shawnee Smith, SAW) and Paul (Donovan Leitch Jr, Glory) discover an unusual gelatinous substance with the ability to remove flesh off any living creatures in its path. The deadly blob-like matter infiltrates the town’s sewer system and continues to grow exponentially, threatening the lives of unsuspecting townspeople.
A grisly and inspired remake of the 1958 Steve McQueen B-Movie classic, with an acute angle on horror, The Blob is directed by Chuck Russell (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3) and adapted by Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead, The Shawshank Redemption).

Talk about a date from hell….

Picture Quality

The Picture format on this release is a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The picture quality is sharp, with little to no drops in quality throughout the 95 minute run time. This film has honestly never looked better and I was happy to see the colours on display looking vibrant and clear, with no overshadowing or lack of clarity in the films darker moments.

Sound Quality

A recurring theme with all of the Umbrella Entertainment releases I have reviewed is the top notch quality of the sound on display. Voices and speech are clear with no breakage or drop in quality. The general audio and score sound sharp and clear throughout the runtime.
