160. The Food of the Gods (1976)

March 31, 2014

The Food of the Gods is one of the ultimate campy movies. When a couple farmers stumble upon a fountain of ooze on their property, they think it is a gift from god and start mixing it with their chicken feed for no good reason. Turns out the stuff acts as the greatest growth hormone ever and the baby chickens quickly grow up to be as big or bigger than adult humans. The chickens aren't the only ones who eat the stuff, though, and rats and wasps and other nasty creatures end up gigantic and bloodthirsty as well. A few people get eaten by the rats and it becomes up to the star of some football team, some kind of scientist, and a man and his pregnant wife to put an end to the madness. I'd say it is worth a watch, just to say you've seen it.
