Movies like The Stuff

They Live is a cult classic from director John Carpenter that combines social commentary with science fiction. Much like The Stuff, it offers a satirical look at consumerism, this time through the lens of a man who discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveal the true face of society's rulers. Fans of The Stuff's blend of horror and satire will find a lot to love here.

The Fly, particularly the 1986 version directed by David Cronenberg, is a shocking exploration of transformation and obsession. Though more serious in tone than The Stuff, it showcases incredible practical effects and body horror that fans of The Stuff might appreciate.

Slither is a blend of science fiction, black comedy, and body horror that recounts the havoc an alien parasite wreaks on a small town. Sharing The Stuff's affinity for gross-out horror and dark humor, it's another film that should appeal to the same audience.

The Blob, particularly the 1988 remake, features an amorphous alien entity that devours anything in its path, echoing The Stuff's sentient food product theme. The movie balances sci-fi horror with teen drama and situational comedy, aligning well with The Stuff's own horrific yet satirical approach.

Re-Animator is another horror-comedy cult favorite that delves into the grotesque. It follows a mad scientist who invents a serum that can reanimate the dead, leading to all manner of mayhem. Fans of The Stuff's combination of the grim and the comic will appreciate Re-Animator's similar tone.
