One taste is all it takes!

Get ready for a taste of hell! Legendary director of Bert I. Gordon (The Amazing Colossal Man) - the father of the "gigantic creature" genre - delivers the biggest Midnite Movie of all with this spine-tingling tale of ecology gone berserk. Based on H.G. Wells' classic horror novel, The Food Of The Gods) predicts a future where animals are suddenly at the top of the food chain... and eager to get their fill!

On a remote island, a mysterious substance is oozing from the ground. A farmer sees that it acts as a growth hormone and thinks his fortune is made. But when rats, chickens, worms and wasps begin sampling the potent substance, they morph into bloodthirsty giants! Now, it's up to the island's few residents and visitors to destroy "the food of the gods"... before the animals take over for good!
