So is "The Stuff" a metaphor for crass consumerism and relentless advertising? The world's dependency on oil? Chemical or drug addiction? Maybe it's just a movie about a guy who starts eating tasty goop that bubbles up from underground and decides to try and make a few bucks? Whatever the case, it seems everyone wants to read some greater statement into it, but the fact is that "The Stuff" is not a good movie. I like a "good" bad movie as much as the next guy, but this was too disjointed and poorly done for me to enjoy.

It was like a horror movie, and then by the end it was an absurd comedy movie. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!

This movie is made great by the Dismal Jesters commentary.

I've watched this a couple times now. Go in knowing "THIS IS NOT THE BLOB." This is a satire on health food, advertising, and the media. It is campy, silly, not logical at all...and lots of fun. Quickly paced, but know going in...not a horror movie.

Bonafide classic for the ages
