Plots(1)
The Stuff is the new dessert taking supermarket shelves by storm. It's delicious, low in calories and – better still – doesn't stain the family carpet. What's not to like?! Well, for a start it has a life of its own, and we're not talking friendly live bacteria. Young Jason seems to be the only one who doesn't love The Stuff – in fact he won't go anywhere near it, after having seen the pudding crawling around the fridge one night. What's more, everyone who eats The Stuff has started acting really weird. Now, teaming up with wise-cracking industrial saboteur "Mo", Jason must put a stop to The Stuff and the organisation behind it or face a gooey, gloopy demise. (Arrow Films)

This is very much an amusing B-movie critique of corporations and consumerism, which was far less horrific than I had originally expected. The director Cohen's distinctive style somehow holds everything together, and the idiosyncratic Michael Moriarty as "Mo" is quite a bizarre, wisecracking, and entertaining character. It is all kind of endearing and childishly naive, in short, this movie is a comedic curiosity that can not be taken at all seriously, even though it is obviously trying to get a message across.
