In Arborville, California, three high school students try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches.
I haven’t seen the original from 1953, but this is a really great sci-fi monster movie. Interesting that its not a monster from space, but a government experiment gone wrong. The effects are really good. The soundtrack is great as well, and really works great with the movie. Even Kevin Dillion is great as the young rebel punk with his leatherjacket and motorcycle. Shawnee Smith is cool as the strong capable female lead. The movie ends with a really great cliff-hanger. Too bad we never got a sequel. It really deserved one. Part of Junesploitation - Day 14 – Monsters!
