The Food of the Gods

ActionAdventureHorrorSci-Fi88 min

On a remote island, a strange substance seeps from the ground and starts changing the local wildlife. Chickens, rats, and wasps grow to monstrous size, turning farms and houses into killing grounds as the island’s residents are trapped with creatures that multiply the danger by the hour. A visiting football player, played by Marjoe Gortner, gets swept into the fight alongside a woman trying to survive the outbreak, played by Pamela Franklin. What begins as an isolated oddity becomes a siege, with the group scrambling for shelter, weapons, and some way to stop a force of nature that keeps getting bigger.
