Trent Berchtold is a screenwriter with a degree in Creative Writing from Pepperdine University. Highly passionate about film, he has spent years honing his writing skills so that he may contribute to cinema himself.
The Golden Age of Hollywood produced some of cinema's all-time classics, from All Quiet on the Western Front to Sunset Boulevard. The majority of these classics were carefully cultivated by big studios with even bigger budgets and marketing efforts behind them. There are, however, other films made during this time that are both equally notable and crafted by those with a far smaller budget and relatively meager resources.
It's especially evident in the miniatures, leading the audience to really feel the impact of Gorgo's attack, as every brick can be seen falling during the collapse of the London Tower Bridge. The emphasis on the parental aspect of the main kaiju also helps differentiate it from other entries in the genre, as most examples focus on the destructive nature of their titular kaiju. Sci-fi fans will also enjoy seeing William Sylvester of 2001: A Space Odyssey fame as one of the human leads.
The premise of an artist literally putting blood, sweat, and tears into his art is fairly unique while also providing ample opportunity for both horror and comedy. This singular approach is especially present in the clumsy acts of violence that Walter commits, providing bloody horror, and the slapstick antics provide consistent laughs for the audience.
Still, the presence of the iconic Vincent Price should be more than enough for fans of classic B-movies due to his standing as an icon of low-budget-high-reward filmmaking. Price also provides a gripping, strong performance, as does the rest of the cast, especially David Hedison as Andre, effectively going from struggling to maintain his humanity to solemnly accepting the hopelessness of his situation.
The titular blob's effects are quite remarkable even by today's standards and were fully unlike anything that had been seen at that point. It's especially evident during scenes of the blob moving, which perfectly demonstrates its alien, inhuman nature. Steve is played by renowned actor Steve McQueen, providing a source of interest for fans of classic cinema, as he had also been featured prominently in films such as Bullitt and The Great Escape.
For the majority of the runtime, it's unclear whether or not the strange visions of the ghouls that Mary is suffering are real or not. This ambiguity creates a sense of suspense that heightens the immersion by providing the audience with the same kind of confusion that Mary is also experiencing in the movie.
