THE BLOB.

The film functions as a conspiracy theory film. The threat of the original film was an alien entity from outer space. The remake differs in making the threat a biological weapon, created by a secret government agency. The Blob is closely followed by soldiers and scientists in protective suits. The change reflects the mentality of a more cynical era. [12] The sinister government agents are opposed by rebellious teenager Brian Flagg (Kevin Dillon). His depiction as a rebel and a "tough guy punk" includes wearing a leather jacket, sporting long hair, driving a motorcycle, and distrusting authority figures. [13]
Jacqueline Foertsch argues that the blob of the original film served as a symbol of communist ideology. The more "deathlike" 1980s version served as a metaphor for the AIDS pandemic[14] The dull-red colors of the original changes here to a glistening, pearly grey. The change makes the creature resemble a mucous membrane[14] While the original creature rolled and lumbered on, the newer version slides and strikes aggressively, using phallic tentacles[14] The original blob was a singular organism which increased its size, strength, and velocity by feeding. The newer version not only enlarges itself, but also splits into multiple parts, allowing for simultaneous attacks in multiple locations. Indeed the largest part of the creatures is eventually frozen and contained, but a crazed preacher hoards a few shards, implying the survival of the threat. [14]
Foertsch calls attention to another significant shift from the original. The blob invades the bodies of its victims and springs from the remnants of a previous host to seize a new victim. For example, Vicki is infiltrated by the creature and becomes its host. When Scott reaches to touch her breast, the creature emerges to engulf him.
