Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A tongue-in-cheek sequel to The Blob (around the time of the spin-off hit single by The Five Blobs which went: 'It creeps, it crawls, it slithers up the walls'), this is Mary Martin's son's only directorial effort, and he plays a cameo part as a hobo. The best moment occurs when the Blob (what is it made of?) takes over a bowling alley, then an ice-skating rink. For the rest, assorted guest stars are trundled on to do unfunny turns before getting eaten.
