The Stuff (1985) is an entertaining horror comedy with a superb underlying subtext about American consumerism and freedom of thought. Don’t be fooled by the playful horror and cheesy acting, this film is smart, keenly aware of exactly what it’s doing every step of the way.
Sure the script flow is questionable with shaky internal logic, character interactions, and dialogue but it’s because everything is in the service of the overall theme and social commentary. And frankly, things are so fun along the way that you don’t care when characters who have never met suddenly know each other or when people meet in random places that make no sense. Doesn’t matter.
Some of the action & special effects are an editing disaster in a beautifully hilarious way. A 1980’s B-movie classic.
