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!

VIBE

A delightfully absurd and unsettling 80s sci-fi horror-comedy. It's a campy, gooey ride that skewers consumerism with a wink and a disturbing, yet fun, sense of dread. Perfect for a schlocky, good time.
