SYNOPSIS After some weird goo erupts from the Earth, a couple of miners discover it tastes so good they decide to market it. The American public laps up the new dessert known as The Stuff but, unfortunately, it has a life of its own and the not-so-friendly bacteria starts turning people into Stuff-craving zombies. Having seen the yucky yoghurt crawling around the fridge one night, young Jason (Scott Bloom) teams up with wisecracking industrial saboteur Mo (Michael Moriarty) and advertising executive Nicole (Andrea Marcovvici) to put a stop to The Stuff and the organisation behind its distribution…
THE LOWDOWN Coming courtesy of horror auteur Larry Cohen (It’s Alive/Maniac Cop), The Stuff is a titillating treat for the taste buds, which blends elements of films such as Street Trash with the straight-up B-movie flavour of The Blob. So grab a spoon and dig on into The Stuff – the taste that delivers… much more than you bargained for!
THE ARROW RELEASE Arrow Video’s UK dual format release (and a UK first for the Blu-ray) features a high definition restoration of the film from a new 2k scans of the original negative, with original stereo 2.0 audio and optional subtitles.
The bonus features include a brand new documentary Can’t Get Enough of The Stuff: Making Larry Cohen’s Classic Creature Feature, a Trailers From Hell intoduction by self-confessed fan, Saw II and III director, Darren Bousman, and a collector’s booklet. The deluxe edition features packaging showcasing Gary Pullin’s fantastically gloopy artwork and a reversible sleeve adorned with the original UK VHS art by Graham Humphreys.
DID YOU KNOW? Buckets of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, various yoghurts, shaving cream and gallons of vile-smelling fire retardant foam were all used to create the creamy delicacy that is The Stuff.
