The Stuff (1985)

InformationGeek · September 09, 2010, 03:51:41 PM

A killer dessert movie ranks up their with a killer elevator and killer condoms in the realm of silly and craziness for what could kill a person. Double points go to this movie for the fact that it can take over a person's body.

But in all seriousness, I have a new renewed interest in seeing this movie for the first time. It was when two guys were talking about bad movies on a podcast and one of them brought the film up. One of them said he loved the scene where Charlie I think opens his mouth really wide and the Stuff pours out when he is about to tell the reporter a dark secret or something. The other guy laughed and said, "Oh yeah. I would love it if that happens with other things. 'I know the true secret behind Bratz the movie. BLARGH!'"

So, now that the movie is actually up on YouTube, I am really interested in this film now. For those who have seen, what's your thoughts on the movie? I put this film in the good catergory because tons of people all over seem to love this crazy and killer movie. Is it really all that good as a b-movie though?

I love The Stuff! It's one of those movies that makes you feel like you've been transported back in time to the 80s. One of my favorite things about this movie are the commercials for "The Stuff" and the catchy theme songs. It's definitely fun to watch!

I remember watching this with my brother and scaring him. we were almost to the end of the movie and he was into the movie. I took some sour cream and moved the container close to his hand and then moved it so his had would touch the cream. He jump and said a few choice words.

the affects are cheesy but a great movie. I found this on DVD and watch it a lot. I recommend getting it on DVD or VHS. I would love to see this movie with the new CGI technology today.

Just my two cents.

Original, zany and cheesy. For every layer of suck there are two layers of cool so in the end the good outweights the bad. Not a great film but one of the better so-bad-so-good movies. It definitely has cult appeal and a following of some sorts.

Best. Worst. Movie. Ever.

"America hasn't lost a war yet."

"What about Vietnam, sir?"

"We lost that war at home, son."

The craziest thing about this movie isn't that it has a dessert which kills you, but rather that some random guy sees a BIG PILE OF OOZE COMING OUT OF AN EARTHQUAKE CRACK AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS EATING IT!!

I mean, WTF!? If I see a bunch of white froth coming out of the GROUND the last thing I'd do is eat it.

That's the FIRST thing I would do if I saw a bubbling mess of white goo steaming up out of the ground.

How else are you supposed to tell if it's DELICIOUS?!?

I paid to see this when it was in the theater. I thought it was okay. I think I saw it once after that . . . probably a VHS rental . . . but I haven't seen it in many years.

It's been along time... 80's... I need to watch this again lol.

Another great, offbeat horror from Larry Cohen (IT'S ALIVE, Q, GOD TOLD ME TO)!

So you were the one?

One of the most WTF lines in movie history.

"Everyone has to eat shaving cream once in a while."

I loved this movie. Crazy then and crazy now.
