Cashing in on director Larry Hagman's fame as star of Dallas, a canny distributor reissued Beware! The Blob (aka Son of Blob) with the come-on line "The Film That J.R. Shot!" Picking up where the original Blob (1958) left off, the film begins as the pudding-like goo thaws out and begins wreaking havoc on the civilized world. Steve McQueen, star of the first Blob, is understandably absent; this time the heroics are handled by Robert Walker Jr., who takes on the Blob himself when the local authorities fail. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Larry Hagman directed the 1972 sequel to The Blob, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. There are no extra features, but the camp value of the title might appeal to more than a few disc collectors, even if the disc itself is not impressive. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
