The Blob is a 1988 American science fiction horror film directed by Chuck Russell, who co-wrote it with Frank Darabont. It is a remake of the 1958 film of the same name. The film stars Kevin Dillon, Shawnee Smith, Donovan Leitch, Jeffrey DeMunn, Paul McCrane, Art LaFleur, Robert Axelrod, Joe Seneca, Del Close and Candy Clark. The plot follows an acidic, amoeba-like organism that crashes down to Earth in a military satellite, devouring and dissolving anything in its path as it grows. Filmed in Abbeville, Louisiana, The Blob was theatrically released in August 1988 by TriStar Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, to generally positive reviews but was a box office failure, grossing $8.2 million against its budget of approximately $10 million.
