Press release!



Starring: Michael Moriarty, Andrea Marcovicci, Garrett Morris
Directed by: Larry Cohen
Rating: 15

Overview: Are you eating it ...or is it eating you?

The Stuff is the new desert taking supermarket shelves by storm. It's delicious, low in calories and - better still - doesn't stain the family carpet… What's not to like?! Well, for a start it has a life of its own, and we're not talking friendly live bacteria…

Young Jason seems to be the only one who doesn't love The Stuff - in fact he won't go anywhere near it, after having seen the pudding crawling around the fridge one night. What's more, everyone who eats The Stuff has started acting really weird... Now, teaming up with wise-cracking industrial saboteur “Mo”, Jason must put a stop to The Stuff and the organisation behind it or face a gooey, gloopy demise.

Coming courtesy of horror auteur Larry Cohen (director of the It's Alive series and scribe behind the Maniac Cop trilogy), 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!

Special Features:
-New high definition digital transfer
-Newly commissioned artwork
-Collector's booklet
-More to be announced!

Region 2/B
RRP £24.99

I finally bought this on DVD a couple of months ago, after not having seen it since the early 1990s. Typical

I'm glad to see Larry Cohen getting some respect, finally ... from Arrow.

Didn't this film go by another title?

Hell yeah! I love Larry Cohen's movies! Hopefully this director's cut will be released on DVD and Blu-ray.

Not sure I can handle two hours of The Stuff, I think it's pretty great at under 90 minutes.
