Horror Vault's take

When a mysterious extraterrestrial mass descends on the quiet town of Arborville, California, it wastes no time making its presence known in the most gruesome way possible. A misfit teenager and a resourceful young woman find themselves at the center of the chaos as the voracious creature dissolves everything — and everyone — in its path. The town's authorities prove frustratingly ill-equipped to handle the threat, leaving ordinary people to face an enemy that cannot be reasoned with or outrun. This 1988 remake cranks up the practical gore effects and creature scale far beyond its 1950s predecessor, delivering a relentlessly paced creature feature with real teeth.
