Horror. Sci-Fi. Mystery Weird yummy goo erupts from the earth and is discovered by a couple of miners. They taste it and decide to market it because it tastes so good. The American public literally eats up the new dessert known as The Stuff but, unfortunately, it takes over the brains of those who eat it, turning them into zombie-like creatures. It is up to ex-FBI agent David Rutherford and a kid named Jason to stop the spread of the mind-devouring dessert.

	Media	Author	Review
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Though the commentary and consumerism of junk food are thinly veiled, it’s endearingly goofy and funny."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A wildly ambitious movie that fails because it forgets to attend to its bottom line. Before you can make a clever, funny, satirical horror film, first you have to make a horror film.(…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		TV Guide	"[It] attacks American business practices (...) by combining a horror/science-fiction tale with large doses of biting black humor (...) Unfortunately, the movie is wildly disjointed (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
