Enough… is never enough.
The late Larry Cohen tackled American marketing and consumerism with 1985’s The Stuff, centered on a dessert sensation that begins consuming the consumers. The film has been released to home video at various different points over the years, most recently on Blu-ray by Arrow Video, but it seems a never-before-seen version of the movie is also lurking out there.
The Denver Film team just tweeted about the surprising find today, noting that they “made a remarkable discovery while looking through the 35mm reel of The Stuff.”
The tweet continues, “The print came from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences and is actually the Director’s Cut with 30 extra minutes of footage not found anywhere else.”
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

“A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world.”
