A darkly comedic sci-fi horror spoof that weaponizes consumer culture and addiction anxiety through a parasitic dessert product, balancing genuine grotesqueness with tongue-in-cheek satire.

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!
