A cult classic of 1950s sci-fi horror, The Blob (1958) stars Steve McQueen in one of his earliest leading roles. When a mysterious, jelly-like organism crashes to Earth, it begins consuming everything in its path—growing larger with each victim. As the small-town residents scramble to stop the seemingly unstoppable creature, tension builds in this thrilling and imaginative tale of extraterrestrial terror. Lovingly restored by The Criterion Collection, this edition brings the iconic monster movie back to life in stunning high definition.
