The Stuff (1985)

The goo is coming....

Truly an 80s classic. Not to be taken too serious, but watch it for a laugh and some chilling moments. A good combination of both really. October 9, 2008

Funny, yet disturbing B class movie

This movie is interesting. It takes a funny concept and plays with it, while still being gross and scary enough to justify its catergory. The plot make sense, but is comical because "the stuff" is like reactive goo that takes over people and then erupts from their mouths like the cover, not that good, but definetly unique.

The Stuff

This is an extremely fun horror film from the 1980's! Directed by Larry Cohen who's done the 'It's Alive' films...Story in short is; A strange substance is found and once tasted (don't ask why they had to taste it) and before you know is being sold as a popular dessert sold simply called 'The Stuff' a young kid isnt so sure its a safe dessert when his parents start to sound like they're from a tv commercial praising the dessert. We soon find out its an addictive alien orgasm that eats people! Excellent! Watch it! January 30, 2008

Not as remembered

Have you ever had a fond, albeit vague, memory of some movie that you saw as a much younger version of your present self? Something that you recall really enjoying in your younger years? I have of course, and this movie is one of many. As it turns out, even someone who enjoys horror movies as much as myself(but 15 minutes ago I placed an order for four "fondly remembered" supposed cult classics...one of them being NIGHT OF THE DEMONS)must admit that sometimes a vague memory can be just that....very.....very vague. While I still enjoy the premise that was to be the basis for the movie, the film all together is just way too incoherent.....on varying occasions cutting to some random and crazy scene that has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever. Seems at times to just ditch the movie altogether.It literally got to the point Where I was actually calculating in my mind how much longer was left. Not a good sign to say the least fellow readers. There are cheesy movies.....and then there are those that go way beyond that border into complete nonsense. This movies happens to be one of those "Gems"

Proceed with caution:
waste of time and money awaits September 29, 2007

bad horror... not GOOD-bad though.

There were only a couple of good moments in this movie.- most of it was horrible plot buildup.
I like a lot of bad movies, becuase even if they are bad you can make fun of them with friends.
This one will leave a large group of people speechless and angry.

If you really have to see this movie- and don't want to listen to my opinion- the one scene that is worth it is the scene with Chocolate Chip Charlie at the end.
hahahahaa

Anyhow, don't get this movie... Instead, get Army of Darkness. Now, that's funny!! July 19, 2007
