The Stuff is a mysterious new taste sensation that's taken the country by storm. But when it begins to outsell even ice cream, a coalition of food moguls hire an industrial saboteur (Michael Moriarty) to uncover the snack's secret formula. Together with an embittered cookie entrepreneur (Garrett Morris), they discover the horrifying truth: The Stuff is a body-snatching snack treat that turns its hosts into monstrous zombies! With millions digging in and time running out, can they save the world from the grip of this insidious and deadly desert? Paul Sorvino, Danny Aiello, Andrea Marcovicci and Patrick O'Neal co-star in this outrageous horror thriller written and directed by cult film favorite Larry Cohen (It's Alive, Q: The Winged Serpent). Fortified with your maximum daily requirement of shock and satire, you won't be able to get enough of The Stuff! (official distributor synopsis)

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.
