If you loved Maximum Overdrive, try The Stuff
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Maximum Overdrive, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Stuff is
Abandoned mine; midnight; a pickaxe. A white, living goo bubbling up from the earth becomes the next national dessert craze. A corporate spy, a kid, and a militia leader seek the source. Cohen's consumer-horror is best enjoyed as a midnight snack.
