Food of the Gods (1976)

How bad is it? It's cheesy, but watchable.
Should you see it? If you're doing a giant animal movie marathon.

Yet another Bert I. Gordon film about giant animals, this is one of his better later works (his budgets appear to have been bigger earlier), as it has some of Rick Baker's special effects as well as the usual back-projection. Marjoe Gortner stars and Ida Lupino shows up. There's attacks by giant wasps, rats and chickens; the chickens are the least frightening, by far. This film was based on the same source material as Gordon's "Village of the Giants," which is much sillier and therefore recommended.
