I really enjoyed this mid-80s Larry Cohen film, which I admit is kind of surprising. Seeming if you A) Have no idea who Larry Cohen is, or how never seen and enjoyed any of his other films or B) Witnessed the cover art that is emblazoned on the DVD that I own. Just so you know it looks very much like the poster that is shown on this site. It looks like you are going to watch a potentially gross, gory and more-than-likely bad horror movie with probably very little plot. Yet, if you look at it from the right direction what you get is a very 80s, low-budget horror flick that really does have a message within.
There is a new food that is taking the world by storm and you guessed it it's called The Stuff. Problem is nobody seems to know anything about it. So, Moe Rutherford (Michael Moriarty) is hired to find out all he can about this product. Meanwhile, a lonely, misunderstood boy named Jason (Scott Bloom) knows there is something wrong with The Stuff.
A B-Movie with a heart and it may have been more clear perhaps if some of the gore and coarse language were toned down a bit and went for more of a PG rating. Nevertheless, I ain't gonna bring this movie down because of its rating and works well just the way it was made. It also has a nice sense of humour going on through out the film.
Quite a very good cast that also includes Garrett Morris, Paul Sorvino and Danny Aiello.
