Very Cool!!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The stuff is a b-horror film from the mid 80's. It is classified as a "body horror film". The general idea is that a substance is found that is one of the best tasting products in the world, but it is actually a living, hive mind creature intent on taking over humanity.After reading rave reviews about 'The Stuff', I decided to give it a go. I was raised on horror films from the 80's and 90's and am a gore hound at heart. The stuff was listed as one of the top body horror films of the 80's and it intrigued me.But it wasn't anything that I expected. For a body horror film, the stuff is incredibly non-violent. There are a few scenes that may be slightly disturbing, but it's few and far between. Further, the film suffers from terrible writing and characters that making completely stupid decisions. Scenes jump all over the place, the overall plot hardly makes any sense. A great example is when the main character Moe is trying to expose the stuff as a dangerous substance, so while trespassing on private property, instead of taking photos for evidence he decides he has to steal one of their trucks as evidence. I mean, what?Or how about how the film makes it look like that the entire population is in love with The Stuff, only to broadcast a radio show that says it's bad and suddenly they manage to just make it all go away? I mean really.I am no stranger to old horror films, but The Stuff is just absolutely absurd and boring in almost every capacity.

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

THE STUFF is a 1985 comedy/horror film, which tells the story of a mysterious goo that oozes from the centre of the earth. When a man finds it, he tastes it and thinks that it tastes delicious. After this THE STUFF is marketed and sold as the new delicious desert. However THE STUFF isn't the desert you may think it is. It rots your insides and turns you into zombie like creatures.In my opinion The Stuff was a boring film I didn't know it was a comedy and wouldn't have guessed either because it simply was not funny what so ever. I don't recommend this film at all as I hardly enjoyed it, you did get some entertaining scenes but they were very few. If you want to watch it go ahead, however I have warned you about this film.**/***** Poor.

The Stuff was a nostalgic film for me. I remember seeing it at 8 or 9 on a Saturday afternoon television show which aired weekly horror films (Chicago natives might know to which show I refer) and had been eager to view it again as an adult; however 15 years later, nostalgia simply wasn't enough.Larry Cohen's The Stuff is a horror movie with a unique idea, a satire on America's consumption culture leading to the marketing of a deadly, addictive, frozen treat. However, the best ideas can fail if not executed properly.The acting in this film leaves much to be desired. While I did not go into this movie expecting acting on par with Oscar-caliber films, I was still quite disappointed in its mediocre acting and poor dialogue. The special effects in The Stuff are relatively good considering the b-movie quality and budget of this film. However, the music and sound effects seemed very disjointed and out of place; usually conflicting with the events occurring in the movie.Overall, The Stuff presents an interesting idea that had potential to be a good sci-fi/horror film, but The Stuff simply fails as a good movie; however, it's not unwatchable, and might prove to be a "fun" distraction if you're looking for a campy, mediocre movie with which to kill an evening.3.5 out of 10.
