Legendary mega-star, Marjoe Gortner headlines this tale of vermin gone colossal. Based -extremely loosely- on the H.G. Wells story, THE FOOD OF THE GODS is another "nature strikes back" movie, featuring giant grubs, titanic chickens, humongous wasps, and hippo-sized rats! This is due to their having dined on grain soaked in the titular goo. Ida Lupino plays the farmer's wife who knows what's going on. Pamela Franklin and Belinda Balaski also star.
Watch for the giant chicken encounter, as it is a gut buster! The swarms of terribly-filmed wasps are also memorable.
As for the rats, one feels a great deal of sympathy for the hordes of actual rodents that were shot, burned, blown up, and drowned for the sake of this hogwash! May they rest in peace...
