The Food Of The Gods. 1976.
We got a group of footballers (namely 3) head to a wilderness and one is attacked by giants wasps that look more like giant mosquitoes. One of the men is attacked by a giant chicken at a farm house that becomes overrun by giant rats.
With a film on a budget, you go with what you can and this film uses every single practical effects a person can do, use real rats and little model scales of a car and house for the rats to climbs about on and use paint for the blood otherwise i/m sure the RSPCA would have a field day. The acting is laughable, Pamela Franklin turns up looking innocent and caring for pregnant Belinda Balaski.
Marjoe Gortner is the lead actor and narrator who seems to think on his feet on how to deal with the infestation along with Tom Stovall who wants to make a break for it but seems to be hindered with bad decisions. Ida Lupino is the simple farmer's wife who has been feeding the animals with her own good inspired by god. Never take it seriously but certainly sit back and laugh a few times.
