The Food of the Gods
Welcome to the Bottom of the Food Chain!
Directed by Bert I. Gordon
Produced by American International Pictures
A creature-feature horror film where hunters on a remote island face escalating attacks from grotesquely enlarged animals, blending B-movie spectacle with genuine dread and gore.
Morgan and his friends are on a hunting trip on a remote Canadian island when they are attacked by a swarm of giant wasps. Looking for help, Morgan stumbles across a barn inhabited by an enormous killer chicken. After doing some exploring, they discover the entire island is crawling with animals that have somehow grown to giant size. The most dangerous of all of these, however, are the rats, who are mobilizing to do battle with the human intruders.
