Food of the Gods II Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
insomniac_rod "Food For The Gods II" offers cheap gory entertainment and may only be enjoyed by fans of the 80's craziness. Sure, the movie is cheesy as hell (come on, those giant rats!) but it will surely entertain you.The poorly done f/x and make-up add a sense of B-movie but I'm sure that the producers tried to make a serious Horror... I guess.You know the plot. I have warned you. This is an extremely cheesy Horror movie with lots of gore, and rat violence. You have to watch it with very low expectations in order to truly enjoy it.The scene where the mad scientist melts down may be one of the most incredibly cartoonish scenes in Horror. The way how his brain still pumps is laughable. Also, when the rats attack in the pool (a cool scene) you can say that in order to create the effect of a giant rat, the director focused on the rat's head with a zoom. Oh, and the rats' POV is stuff for legend.I don't know but I somehow enjoyed this one. The movie has action and gore all the time! You can't say that it's not entertaining. Plase, track this movie and watch it if you are in the mood for super 80's Horror and cheese. This may not be MSKT material but it's definitely a movie to laugh about. The best thing about it is the always beautiful Lisa Schrage.
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.
Chris Gaskin Food of the Gods 2 followed 16 years after the original movie and is a lot more gory than Food of the Gods and less enjoyable but not total trash.An experiment on growth hormone goes wrong and this results in rats growing into giants and going on the rampage. They appear very hungry and kill and eat quite a few people until they are killed at the end. We also get to see the pleasure of a man melting.This is much more gory than 1976's Food of the Gods but I quite enjoyed it despite this. I laughed at the melting man sequence.Food of the Gods 2 is worth looking at, despite all that gore.Rating: 2 and a half stars out of 5.
Steve Nyland (Squonkamatic) Once again my ability to be entertained finds it's happy place at the near lowest common denominator one can possibly find: A movie about growth hormone mutated rats chewing their way through the supporting cast of an unnamed Canadian university. Packed with in jokes, sight-gags and made by people who were using their brains for more than shoulder ballast, I found this to be a rip-roaring entertainment heightened by the ingenious way that miniature sets, forced perspective shots and other gimmicks were used to create monster rats, an over-sized university professor, and a giant mutant kid who's escape at the conclusion of the film was the perfect open ending. And I hope nobody ever makes a FOTG Pt3 to show what happens to him: some things are best left to the imagination.Anyone familiar with the abysmal 1976 film of more or less the same name can rest assured: Part 2 has absolutely nothing to do with the original FOTG, setting off on a totally independent storyline which produces more or less the same results -- giant rats eating people, a universally frightening concept -- though this film is correctly played for laughs where the original was a semi-serious ecological horror flick unable to overcome it's underlying stupidity.This one works because it embraced that stupidity & went with it.THE PLOT: An overachieving researcher develops a growth hormone formula, tests it on some tomatoes which are then eaten by a cage full of lab rats who get big and eat people. End of story.Along the way, the film takes hilarious pot-shots at such deserving targets as animal rights activists, liberal university administrations, the police, Clint Eastwood, and synchronized swimming. In fact the minute that the evil Dean character voiced concern that an effort to corral the mutant rats might interfere with the opening of a new pool complex I knew that the climax would be fun, though the bigger laugh came when he referred to "all the rich alumni with their checkbooks" who would be in attendance. Everyone whom I went to college with is as broke as I am, except the worms who weaseled their way into teaching or other academic positions. Like research work.Look, if you're going to be sitting down and watching a film about mutant rats on the rampage the last thing in the world you're really going to fret over are convincing performances, slick special effects and a coherent plot, so why not approach the material at an angle & have some fun? On that level of consideration this film is a minor masterpiece, and anyone who finds it to be prurient or juvenile in nature is simply refusing to play along with the fun.Highly recommended as a "party movie", with plenty of laughs, some repulsive gore and even a few bared breasts here & there.But if you're looking for a serious film, well that's why they make DVDs of CITIZEN KANE, and you'd be advised to stick with that. But for those with a sense of humor and a love for low-middle budget horror this flick is very hard to beat, and I've even seen DEATH SHIP.***1/2 out of ****
