Summary: This Stuff'll Kill Ya
Review: This is one of those movies I saw a million times as a kid. When I was 10 or so and I'd wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. for some reason, turn on the tv-HBO mind you-and I'd usually catch this. Now I'm crusty and old(I turned 26 today), and I still love this movie. I was in it for the gruesomeness as a kid, but now I get the humor and overall message of the film. This was the first Larry Cohen movie I saw, and it made me a fan for life. An underappreciated director if I ever saw one. Most film snobs have and will always think of him as a hack exploitation director-which he is, but a very good one. As you all know, the "stuff" is a alien parasite -type substance that becomes the newest taste sensation. People get hooked on it and become slaves to it. It leaves their body and returns at will. It makes people crazy and homicidal. It oozes from them when they're shot. Moe Rutherford(who hates sweaty palms) gets down to the nitty gritty and exposes the whole corperate conspiracy. Considering this is a low budget film from 1985, the stop motion effects look pretty darn cool. Cohen did very well with his limited budget. Did this play in the theaters? I'm sure it did somewhere. I'd suggest renting if you haven't seen it, coz it may not be your cup of tea. If you have and like it, you can't go wrong for the price. Anchor Bay did a good job(as usual) with this one. It isn't loaded with extras, but the film looks good and you can listen to Larry Cohen on the commentary! Good stuff.

Summary: A Movie So Bad It's Good
Review: This movie breaks some story rules, including introduction/insertion of random new characters towards the end. Still, funny enoughfor a movie that seems to try so hard to be so good and comes out oh, so bad. *grin* Definitely worth watching!

Summary: Excellent sci-fi and marketing satire!!!
Review: This movie works on many levels. It's a sci-fi movie about Stuff that bubbles up from the ground to become the latest food rage. The problem is the more you eat the more it takes control of you. But at a more critical level it attacks the product marketing by executives and ads that will sell us anything as long as they can make a buck. Even stuff that will destroy you. The DVD has the added value of comments by the director Larry Cohen which include great stories about making the film. Michael Moriarty is great as the quirky industrial spy hired by the ice cream companies to find out the secret formula for the stuff. Garrett Morris plays Chocolate Chip Charlie an obvious takeoff of Famous Amos. Simply a great movie.
