59 I love how the premise of this movie is entirely based around a dude who saw a goopy, bubbling substance on the ground and said, "I'm going to eat this."

"You've got to understand...this is a dessert."

theoNov 7, 2022The Stuff looks like sour cream. No amount of body horror can compare to a scene of a family sitting around a dinner table and eating individual pints of what looks like sour cream. Moriarty is a blast as always. The Stuff jingle is hilariously un-catchy; the opposite of a…

JerrySep 23, 2018A mixed bag that alternates between boring/repetitive and HELL YEAH every couple minutes
KeithMay 9, 2021I love The Blob and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Stuff feels like the perfect hodgepodge of those movies as well as, at least to me, an essential Reagan era corporate greed consumerism horror comedy satire. I could go more into that but every ither review does…

Honestly the plot is pretty good but the budget for this movie just couldn’t do it justice. So we are left with a very low budget movie with not great acting either. So watch at your own risk but some parts are so well done, maybe a 7/10
Atticus is "meh" onThe StuffThe stuff is basically the blob meet the invasion of the bodies snatchers but if either of those movies didn’t have enough budget. That green screen scene with the kid is horrendous BUT the stuff has so much potential and isn’t missing much to be a really good movie.
Rachie lovedThe StuffWait, why is this pretty good? 😂 I love a low budget movie fully committing to an outrageous but creative plot. This one has something to say- I felt it’s a satire on consumerism, advertising, mass manipulation, the military and people in power

Cheesy, But Enjoyable. It reminded me of a goosebumps but longer with a twist. 7.5/10 I love the music, some scenes were too pushed around but enjoyable 😂! Better watch out , you might just run into “ The Stuff “.
JJ Jet-Plane dislikedThe Stuffinteresting plot idea but the acting was so atrocious it was hard to watch. terrible accent work by the lead character. could’ve been much better than it was, if only they had hired competent actors. 3/10.
Dark Sun lovedThe StuffJust good dumb fun. Has a kungfu chocolate chip cookie salesman, an earworm of a jingle, and tiny two second bouts of insane practical effects out of nowhere. The green screen was atrocious though.

Slowly becoming a fan of campy movies that feature practical effects like this one, the concept of the story was pretty cool too, it sort of reminded me of "Killer Klowns from Outer Space".
Jojo is "meh" onThe StuffWell…it’s definitely an interesting concept reminded me of slugs. The dialogue and character development was scattered everywhere and very off, the acting too was…eh. uh like a 3/10
The Horrornomicon dislikedThe Stuff80s horror cheese … once you get past the first 30 minutes it gets better … i would suggest watching the blob 1988…. Now that’s a movie you won’t regret watching
