The premise
Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called “the Stuff,” a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It's got a delicious flavor to die for!
Horror Vault's take
When a mysterious white substance starts bubbling up from the earth and flying off grocery shelves, an industrial spy is hired to find out what the dairy industry's hottest new competitor is actually made of. What begins as a corporate espionage caper quickly curdles into something far more sinister, as "The Stuff" proves to have a disturbing hold over everyone who tastes it. Director Larry Cohen skewers American consumerism with gleeful bad taste, wrapping a genuinely unsettling premise in B-movie charm. Think twice before you reach for that midnight snack.
