What It Is: A horror gem from the 80's involving a mysterious tasty substance the becomes the latest low-calorie dessert craze, and begins turning the populace into zombies.Why I Watched It: A coworker described the outrageous plot to me and I knew I had to find it!
What I Thought: For being a cheesy movie with a preposterous plot, The Stuff really wasn't too bad. Several parts were damn funny and several other parts featured make-up reminiscent of Cronenberg. Over-the-top performances by Michael Moriarty and Paul Sorvino didn't hurt the film either.
A worthwhile mention involves the debate surrounding possible political satire in the plot. People compare the addictive substance to everything from consumerism to big tobacco.
Highlights: Incredibly quotable lines like "Enough is never enough, of The Stuff," and too many classic B-movie moments to count.
Who Should See It: Fans of 80's style cheese, and people interested in a horror film chock full of political satire and Stuff!
How Soon: Any time.
