BA_Harrison While trying to find a way to reverse rapid hormonal growth, university professor Dr. Neil Hamilton (Paul Coufos) accidentally creates a pack of giant man-eating rodents that escape into the sewers under the campus, emerging to attack students and staff.As unbelievable as it might seem, someone (well, director Damian Lee, to be more precise) actually went and made a sequel to Bert I. Gordon's cruddy '70s eco-horror Food of the Gods; almost as hard to believe is that FOTG2 proves far more enjoyable than the dismal original. Lee is far from a great film-maker, as anyone who has seen Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe (1990) can testify, but he loads his film with enough demented lunacy—including some welcome OTT gore and a little female nudity—to ensure that it easily surpasses Gordon's film in terms of sheer entertainment value.Admittedly, it takes a while for Lee to get into the swing of things, but once he does, he lets loose with a series of wonderfully daft scenes: we get a cheesy science montage with a naff synth rock soundtrack; there's a ridiculous dream sequence in which hero Dr. Hamilton injects himself with an experimental hormone, and then grows while having sex with student Mary Anne (actress Kimberly Dickson kindly ticking the nudity box); a rat exterminator with a flamethrower does an impersonation of Clint Eastwood; a guy gets his ass mauled by a rat while taking a leak; the rodents chase a maintenance man on an electric cart through tunnels at high speed; an unscrupulous scientist is infected with dog cancer and melts; and in the magnificent finale, the rats attack a synchronised swimming contest before being massacred by machine gun.As if that wasn't enough for fans of B-movie silliness, there's also fun to be had from numerous cameos by the boom mic and a special FX guy, armed with a pair of syringes loaded with goop, who surreptitiously sneaks into shot during the melting scene.

drhackenstine A growth serum being experimented with on a college campus infects a pack of angry rats and typical carnage ensues. Belated sequel released a decade and a half after the original. Basically the two are not connected. Why producers felt the average original warranted a sequel years upon years later is beyond me, but here we go. The creature effects are not the greatest, but passable. There is a lot of blood thrown around in the attack scenes to keep things interesting, and the film is competently made. It's a basic view for the horror consumer and it's not all that bad. Originality is pretty minimal, but a tight pace keeps everything going. The stand-out scene perhaps is the rats attacking a swimming pool full of synchronized swimmers. The sex scene when the male partner grows to immense proportions is short, but also good. Dominated movie channels upon it's release years ago. Two And A Half Stars.

m_jordan_jones This movie rules. The gore was great and the special effects were spectacular. The acting is great and the script is fantastic. The rats look scary and realistic. By far the best scene in the movie is the swimming pool massacre. Because this scene contained the most money in the entire movie is what makes it the best scene in the film. The rats looked more real than ever and the acting and special effects were great. I recommend this movie to anyone who is into the horror genre. p.s. This movie deserves a much higher rating.

Marty Jones I liked this movie. Its funny more than funny has a cool ending actually the ending was a masterpiece. Kids would just love this move if there parents would let them watch it hah that would be really funny. I didnt see what there wasnt to like about it there is rats and countless deaths bad special effects but who cares. I watched this when i was a kid with my friends and they loved it they were laughing like crazy and absolutly loved the ending. If you like Rats and gore than there is a possible chance that you might actually like it a little.
