phanthinga The Stuff is a horror comedy movie in the same vain with The Blob but much more funny and cheesy.THE STUFF came out of nowhere became the world most favorite dessert everybody love it although where or how it made such a mystery so a food company hire a industrial spies known as David 'Mo' Rutherford played our main character.David is a very likable guy and the ways he take advantage of others is so awesome.I really can watch this movie with him alone and probably never get bored when THE STUFF not around.In the end it open for a sequel but sadly never been made.I will make sure check out other Larry Cohen movie Q from 1982 that also starring Michael Moriarty soon

Anonymous Andy (Minus_The_Beer) Construction workers find a throbbing puddle of white goo on the ground and decide to take a taste (as one does). Turns out, this stuff is good -- really good! The sweet mystery treat is soon taking the country by storm. It's low in calories and it tastes great, so shut up and buy! A spy (Michael Moriarty) is hired by the competing ice cream company to try and crack The Stuff's secret formula. What he gets is a little more than he bargained for, as he battles giant waves of fanatical Fluff, inexplicably beds a beautiful woman (Andrea Marcovicci) and somehow attracts a tag-along child (Scott Bloom).If the above synopsis makes your stomach churn, "The Stuff" may not be the right stuff for you. If, however, you read it and are intrigued, you probably won't be able to get enough of "The Stuff." It's a silly b-movie to be sure. Throwing logic out the window at just about every turn, director Larry Cohen's schlockfest delivers silly, easily digestible entertainment, delivering chuckles (some intended, some otherwise) by the bucket load. Michael Moriarty is game as the hapless lead. With his lazy, drunken demeanor, you forgive the fact that he basically stumbles over his own lines and find yourself cheering the guy on as he encounters racists and racist stereotypes alike and goes toe to toe with the titular goo.The special effects are remarkably pretty effective for the era and the budget. In most shots, you'll believe that a dessert really could come to live and swallow you whole, like an albino blob. Cohen plays the whole thing fast and loose and while it isn't exactly an airtight movie, there's still lots of fun to be had with "The Stuff." When people speak of "midnight movies," this is the stuff they are talking about.

adam-duffy This one I remember watching on a Betamax, and it's high score is somewhat influenced by nostalgia. Tho it is a fun classic, with oddball heroes and an interesting creature(the Stuff) that evokes elements of Body Snatchers/the Blob. It's also similar to such movies as They Live with its social commentary submerged into its storyline. The theme of consumerism consuming us takes on a literal form in this fun film. It's one of those movies I watched over and over again as a kid, so definitely recommend it for a watch by anybody that like a dose of humour with their horror...my personal favourite was Chocolate Chip Charlie, just as quotable as Nada from they live...

eban1981 I don't have good childhood memories which movie went released on TV here into Brazil earlier 1989. nowadays comes to be fun that's Chocolate's scene and him dog was mutilated by devilish dessert.however, the cinema of the 80s, was the instrument of creating screenplays, horror trash type, using all any thing: cars, trucks, buses, homes, foodstuffs, and even video games and an ambulance and awhat I think about these movies that I think the fifth category, clumsy, it seemed that America was becoming a decadent country and it seemed that they could not raise money or rummage the glamor of cinema of the 40s and 50s that the to be noted, American cinema had this crossbow obsession that everything had to explode and catch fire. (cheesy, eyeore,stupid and dork attitude of the screenplayers of that era) everything must have explodes,burst on the screens, is good for a poor audience content. it works here mainly in Brazil. .unbearable,awful! it seemed an appellative measured to reduce the costs of production combined with extremely poor scripts with these awful soundtracks punk rock, it seemed that the cast does not take showers, no cleanliness, seems: stinking creatures, ridiculous costumes. Poverty and lousy actors acting ... up to ... which, come the 90s, when last iconic Holllywood Stars: ... Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, MattDamon, Mel Gibson, Mellanie Griffith, Meg Ryan, Michelle Pffeifer, Demi Moore, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster arises, Sharon Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow and other movie stars would not fit in the comment. They changed the very landscape of moviegoers. who became the great promises of glamor Hollywood cinema which recovered the prestige of 50s American cinema Something like applying the sensuality of actresses.It was the latest glamorous Hollywood's flicks decade.Except for in that movie, has a reasonable script, and I see nothing, of Stardom their profile on face but actors and their performances are bad,very bad! It gets me angry.One of those 80's Classic Trash movies, I prefer'Amityville 3D', at least there I meet Meg Ryan performing the spiritistic seance. With a pretty consistent acting.
