The Stuff (1985)

When a pair of quarry workers discover a strange white substance bubbling up from the ground, the powers that be decide to sell the sweet, addictive Stuff as a food replacement. Discovering that the Stuff has unusual properties including turning his family into a type of zombie, young Scott Bloom teams up with industrial saboteur Michael Moriarty and advertising executive Andrea Marcovicci to put an end to all consumption of the product. An absurd premise is made even more ridiculous with strange story choices and awful editing. Regardless, it makes for a perfect 1980s blend of 1950s SciFi horror mixed with Reagan era consumerism that somehow managed to bring in the talents of Paul Sorvino, Garrett Morris, and Danny Aiello to tell its strange tale.
