Reviews

This is one of those movies that you watch, then wish you could get that time back in your life. Sure, there's "tasty goo" that turns you into a zombie-like thing (and kills you in the process), and a kid eats shaving cream and pukes in a guy's car... Maybe it's worth watching, if you need to check off something in your "cheesy-80s-movies" list.

The 1985 (what a year!) Flick about a new treat found within the earth that tastes suprisingly good and becomes an obssesion with the American public. Before long, Jason realizes that not only is it becomes an every day dessert for him and his family, it's the only thing left in the fridge! Completely stocked with The Stuff; Jason knows this is not just an afternoon treat. He teams up with an ex-F... read more

Description: Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called "The Stuff," a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It's got a delicious flavor to ... (more)

"I don't believe in guilty pleasures, but if I did, mine would be for 1980's "attack of the..." horror-comedies with clichéd premises, bad special effects, and even worse acting - The Stuff being a prime example of this. A satire of sensationalist advertising, its truly enjoyable moments are few and far between, but it really does have its share of trashy, cheesy fun. There's not much to praise, but I still found it somewhat enjoyable. Definitely an acquired taste. (N) "

"October 7 I would like to thank diabolical dr voodoo for creating the History of Horror list because if it wasn't for that list then I probably wouldn't have found this movie. It has a silly premise, but it was the 80's and most movies in that decade didn't take themselves seriously. I had fun watching this movie and it's worth watching if you're a fan of cheesy horror movies."

Interesting film facts (365 movies items)

"According to the audio commentary on the 2000 Anchor Bay DVD, some of the substance props or stand-ins for the real Stuff used in the movie included lots of Häagen Däzs ice-cream, yogurt, and, for one scene involving an enormous avalanche-like effect of Stuff crashing though a wall, fire-extinguishing foam. Other shots, such as the ones of the giant lake of Stuff required superimposed images and animation. According to audio commentary on the 2000 Anchor Bay DVD, the scene in the motel where"
