Movie Reviews of The Stuff
Movie Review: Very Entertaining
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Stuff" is a movie I had seen many, many times as a child and when I saw it on Amazon, I had to buy it, simply for the nostalgia that would be involved. Well, it was a smart move. As a child, I liked this movie mainly for the visuals. "The Stuff" literally comes alive and moves around, very similiar to how "the Blob" moves, but cooler. Plus, the abundance of "The Stuff" in its packaging is really quite funny.
Watching this movie now, I realize that it actually has a decent plot and the satire on consumerism is quite cutting. Not to mention, this movie actually has great acting. Mike Moriaty is superb and Paul Sorvino will have you holding your belly with laughter. Even the 10 year-old kid does a good job acting, for a B-movie.
I don't like the ending to this movie, it's just too quick, but I would definetly recommend this movie to anyone who:
A.) Loves Horror movies of ALL kinds
B.) Loves "fun" movies, which can't be taken seriously
or C.) Is just curious about what it is all about.
Are you buying it or is it buying you?????
Movie Review: Good "Stuff"... but could have been great
Summary: 3 Stars
The Movie really had a lot of potential which unfortunately didn't get fulfilled. The main plot is actually great, quite interesting and smart in my opinion. The double message of corruption and ambition as the main villains (along with the "stuff" itself) really deserves a good critic.
Sadly, the movie starts to fall with the over-acting of the main character, and later with the lack of a good explanation or suggestion about the origin of the "Stuff"... In fact, the whole movie makes you feel like it was not over, even more like you just had seen the second part of a story, and missed the begining and the true end of it...
As a movie viewer, i would love to see a remake of this movie... well... maybe another movie with the same main plot but with newer special effects and better explanation of the origin and nature of the "Stuff"... Hollywood got a jewel which never was polished and therefore lacked the success it should have reached.
Movie Review: yum!
Summary: 3 Stars
Strange white glop in the form of a popular treat (like yogurt or ice-cream) takes over the minds and bodies of society. A cool, slick film that doesn't take itself to seriously. Not scary in the least but interesting. Theres a few memorable scenes such as when one of the characters, in "thing" like fashion, reveals himself to be an agent of "the stuff". Its a jaw-dropping experience. You'll know it when you see it. Pretty decent acting in this one. Not the usual tripe we have come to expect. The effects are decent. Still, something is holding this film back from being above average. oh well. Its different. Worth picking up for the right price.Movie Review: Not Cheesy Enough For Me.

This movie wasnt really what I was expecting.I dont know why its found under a zombie movie category because it has nothing even close to a zombie.The plot is pretty good.Its a good idea and a amazing film considering the budget.I just expected more from it.The 2 or 3 gory scenes it has (Especially Chocolate Chip Charlys' demise) were really really awesome looking.I just expected more from it.Bottom line,I thought the movie drags most of the time.Gets kinda boring.Ill probably never watch it again,but its still worth a look.Movie Review: Funny, yet disturbing B class movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is interesting. It takes a funny concept and plays with it, while still being gross and scary enough to justify its catergory. The plot make sense, but is comical because "the stuff" is like reactive goo that takes over people and then erupts from their mouths like the cover, not that good, but definetly unique.
