The Food of the Gods Reviews

Widgett Walls
Mosquitos that can puncture a man's entire head. How can you go wrong with that, I ask you.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What happens next is a cross between Night of the Living Dead, The Birds and a disaster movie, if you follow me.

Dustin Putman
A flagrant disregard for animals' rights—all for the purposes of a schlocky B-movie—gives "The Food of the Gods" a nasty, unclean stench that steals away whatever fun there is to be had.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
When it comes to making bad giant-animals-attack movies, nobody touches Bert.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Back in her glory days at Warner Bros., Ida Lupino never could have imagined that a movie role would require her to wring her hands, bug her eyes and make this fervent prayer: 'I won't never sin again, never. Only don't let no rat eat us, please, God!'

Schlocky, schlocky sci-fi/horror, circa 1976. And it stars Marjoe Gortner. Say more?

Not content with having made a mess of this earlier, Gordon tries again.

without even a hint of irony, fun, thrills, imagination, or anything else approaching entertainment

Giant animal silliness.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The most memorable aspects of this fast-paced, mediocrely-acted, moderately-exciting endeavor are the 150-pound rats, amusingly portrayed every so often by colossal, fake heads and appendages.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel is one of the greats -- and by greats, I mean so unspeakably awful that it needs to be witnessed at least once in a lifetime.
