Ein Meteoritenschauer strt die abendliche Kleinstadtidylle. Doch was Steve und Jane zunchst fr eine riesige Sternschnuppe halten, entpuppt sich als ein todbringendes, extraterrestrisches Schleimmonster, das alles Leben aufsaugt und auslscht. Das Wesen wchstt unaufhaltsam und ist gegen Feuer und modernste Waffentechnik resistent. Nur Klte scheint es stoppen zu knnen. Wird die Armee es schaffen die Bedrohung aus dem All in die Eiswste der Arktis zu vertreiben, oder wird der Blob die Menschheit vernichten?

Super !      5 von 5 Punkten
BLOB - SCHRECKEN OHNE NAMEN ist heute trotz oder gerade wegen seines naiven Charmes ein SF-Trash-Klassiker. Steve McQueen in dieser sehr frühen Rolle ist schon drollig anzuschauen. Auf dieser DVD erstrahlt der Film in längst verloren geglaubtem Glanz und mit unglaublicher Farbpracht. Die Bildqualität ist einfach sensationell. Klasse auch das Bonusmaterial: US-Trailer zur Erstaufführung, deutscher Trailer zur Wiederaufführung, 2 Audiokommentare, Artworkgalerie und anderes. Dazu noch ein wirklich nett gestaltetes 12-seitiges Booklet. Anbieter e-m-s mausert sich langsam vom Schrott- zum Qualitätslabel. Weiter so !

wunderbare Atmosphäre      5 von 5 Punkten
Dieser Film hat eine wunderbare Magie. Nie vergessen werde ich das Törtchentrauma des jungen Watson. Der junge Sherlock Holmes in der verzauberten Welt eines Harry Potter und dem Abenteuerflair von Indiana Jones (Steven Spielberg hatte ja auch seine Finger im Spiel) oder die Mumie. Ist mir unverständlich, daß es davon keine DVD gibt.
Auch der Soundtrack ist unvergleichlich. Angenehm warm und auch aufrüttelnd wie ein Carmina Burana.

Absolut toller Film      5 von 5 Punkten
Schade, dass dieser Film auch nicht mehr auf VHS erhältlich ist. Er ist einfach toll und sollte gesehen werden.
Die Suche nach dem verborgenen Tempel und das Leben von Holmes und Watson als Kinder im Internat ist super spannend und hält bis zum Schluss noch einige Überraschungen auf Lager!
Hoffen wir, dass dieser Film wieder einmal auf VHS/DVD erscheint.

what is that on your hand?      5 von 5 Punkten
Steve McQueen as Steve Andrews and Anete Corsaut as Jane Martin (also Helen Crump in The Andy Griffith Show) are negotiation in a quiet place in a convertable. When a shooting star lands quite close. Naturally this is more interesting and they go to investigate. An old man beats them to the sight and poking around gets blobulated. Things really get sticky from that point with none to believe them as kids don't know nothing.
If you like this movie then the next one to see is a variation called "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"

The game's afoot!      5 von 5 Punkten
Sherlock Holmes is one of the best known detectives in the world - so famous in fact, that 221B Baker Street in London continues to get mail addressed to this fictional character almost a century after he would have died had he been a real person. There are groups of people - Sherlockians and Holmesians, the distinction between which is rather subtle - who delight in retelling the tales; it has become somewhat traditional to try to fill in the gaps, things left out of the 'canonical' stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - 56 short stories and 4 novels. The official tales allude to happenings beyond them - some authors take up the point there, and others create fanciful tales altogether. These have been made into films, television programmes and radio programmes for most of the history of their publication.
This film, 'Young Sherlock Holmes', derives from the mid-1980s film of the same name, produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Barry Levinson as an homage to Holmes and Holmes fans. The screenplay, written by Chris Columbus, was adapted into novel form by Alan Arnold. This story fills in the gaps of Holmes' childhood and education.
There are many wonderful pieces here - it breaks with the canon in that it introduces Holmes (then 16 years old) and Watson as school mates at a private school. Holmes is struggling to learn to play the violin (a canonical piece), and already displays prodigious powers of observation and deduction. He is a loner for the most part, a bit of trouble with authorities and often underestimated. Lestrade is also introduced here, as a junior policeman.
The game is afoot in short order when Holmes' favourite, highly-eccentric professor dies mysteriously; this death mirrors in a fashion several other deaths, which leads Holmes and his new sidekick Watson on a merry chase, along with Elizabeth (this early relationship and its outcome is meant to explain the later absence of women in Holmes' life). The headmaster is generally supportive of Holmes, but is his support all that it seems?
The chase leads Holmes through the London underworld he will later come to know very well, tracking down a mysterious cult with Egyptian origins. Arnold's researching into the Egyptian lore, as well as details about London and Holmesian detail is impressive. Arnold holds Holmes as an ideal, stating in an author's epilogue that Holmes is as much the chivalric medieval knight as a Victorian and Edwardian gentleman.
This is a mystery very much in the spirit of Conan Doyle. The clues are there - one merely needs to follow them to a logical conclusion. Some purists may balk, but this is an intriguing addition to the body of post-Conan Doyle literature, a worthy pastiche.
The lead is played by Nicholas Rowe, an actor deserving of more recognition. Alan Cox plays John Watson - had the Harry Potter stories come about twenty years earlier, he might well have been cast in that role. Sophie Ward plays the love interest for Holmes - Holmes is noted in the stories for not being particularly amorous of nature, and this story attempts to explain that. Anthony Higgins is the villain (do be sure to see the final bonus scene after the credits for the transformation of the villain), assisted by Susan Fleetwood as his 'moll' of sorts. Rounding out the cast is Freddie Jones as Cragwitch and Nigel Stock as Waxflatter, an eccentric (possibly mad) scientist/academic who is friends with Holmes.
The CGI graphics stand up with to time - the walking stained-glass window knight is reminiscent of the knight in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'. The sets, costumes and other effects of the film are really well tended, as is the care taken to add elements faithful to the original stories of Holmes.
