Top of the Food Chain
Something is eating the residents of Exceptional Vista!
Directed by John Paizs
Produced by Space: The Imagination Station, The Ontario Film Development Corporation
A campy sci-fi horror-comedy about a small town under siege by an alien predator, balancing grotesque body horror with absurdist humor and eccentric characters.
An isolated Canadian town (populated by the weirdest group of people this side of Saturn) has seen its share of problems. First the nut factory closed, then the CATV antenna stopped broadcasting, and now something is gruesomely devouring the townsfolk! Can visiting atomic scientist (and expert on "cool fusion") Dr. Karel Lamonte solve the mystery before everyone disappears?
