Are you eating it ...or is it eating you? America's latest food fad turns out to be America's latest threat in the 1985 horror film The Stuff.A strange marshmallow-like substance erupts from the earth and is discovered by a couple of miners. After tasting the goo they decide to market it because it tastes so good. The American public literally eats up the new dessert known as The Stuff. Ultimately, it takes over their minds and the Stuff turns them into zombie-like creatures. It is up to ex-FBI agent David Rutherford, sent undercover to find the recipe, and a kid named Jason, who refuses to eat the Stuff, to stop the spread of the mind controlling tastey dessert and it's mindless human drones.The film isn't all that bad if you are looking for a late night cheeseball horror flick, but if you want great characters, great acting (minus the cameos by Danny Aiello and Paul Sorvino), and a deep diverse storyline, don't expect it from The Stuff.I enjoyed the film and I hope you do as well. It's deserves more attention then it gets.
