5 out of 5 stars You Won't Get Enough of The Stuff   August 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

During the 1970s and 1980s director Larry Cohen churned out some top notch B-Movie Horrors including IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE 2: IT LIVES AGAIN, IT'S ALIVE 3: ISLAND OF THE ALIVE, Q: THE WINGED SERPENT, THE AMBULANCE, GOD TOLD ME TO and Stephen King's A RETURN TO SALEM'S LOT. He has also proved to be a prolific script writer of horror and more recently the phenomenal PHONE BOOTH (dir. Joel Schumacher). But of all his writer/director efforts, it is THE STUFF that he will be remembered for in years to come ...

Starring Michael Moriarty (TROLL) this movie is the quintessential 1980s film for low budget horror fans. The 'Ed Wood' of the 1980s? Not if PHONE BOOTH is anything to go by. You see, THE STUFF is supposed to be tongue-in cheek and the effects at the time were pretty impressive for a B-Movie.

Set in two strikingly different locations, THE STUFF begins in small town USA, where the creamy substance is set loose upon the locals --- but as addiction sets in, the bad guys start marketing the Stuff in cities. Anarchy follows and only a handful of crusaders can hope to rid the world of the deadly but addictive drink.

Full of extras, the DVD is well worth the money and an all-star cast includes Danny Aiello, Patrick O'Neil, Brian Bloom, Scott Bloom, Garrett Morris, Paul Sorvino and Andrea Marcovicci.

5 out of 5 stars The Stuff ... there's never enough   March 30, 2004
 14 out of 14 found this review helpful

The stuff is an alien substance of sorts, found bubbling out of the ground in small towns across the United States. It looks like ice-cream, tastes great and, once it takes hold of you it becomes addictive and deadly. But what is its secret ingredient?

Enter Michael Moriarty (A Return to Salem's Lot), who is hired as an industrial saboteur by representatives of a food company to find out just what makes the stuff so addictive. As the stuff becomes more readily available, the people selling it are no longer content to merchandise it through through the smaller outlets. They begin to advertise it nationwide.

David 'Mo' Rutherford (Moriarty)tracks the stuff across country, with Nicole (Andrea Marcovicci) and a young boy, Jason (Scott Bloom), witnessing its effects on the population. During their efforts they are assisted by Col. Malcolm Grommett Spears (Paul Sorvino) and the wacky cookie entrepreneur, Chocolate Chip Charlie (Garrett Morris, Saturday Night Live). As the film progresses, it becomes impossible to know just who to trust, and resisting the stuff becomes increasingly difficult. The more you consume, the harder it becomes to resist.

Larry Cohen has become a hero to those whose intersts are in cult horror/sci-fi films, having turned out classics like 'A Return to Salem's Lot', 'The Ambulance', and 'Q: The Winged Serpent'. This is his fourth collaboration with actor Michael Moriarty, and it is well worth the money. 'The Stuff' contains comedy, action, science fiction, and horror - a combination of 'The Blob' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', with Cohen's crazy sense of humour thrown in for good measure.

Bonus features on this edition include an informative audio commentary with director, Larry Cohen, TV spots, theatrical trailer, and widescreen presentation.
