This, along with The Thing, is probably one of the few remakes that is better than the original film.
This is all mainly due to those yucky special-effects. The scene where the guy is pulled head-first down the sink plug-hole is a stand out. There are also characters that you would have thought wouldn't get "blobbed" - but do.
It's a movie that started out as fifties B-movie and I suppose this version had no aspirations to be anything but the same - but it pulls off some great action sequences and some witty dialogue - "Great, we killed the strawberry jam.".
