Those chickens are standard Costco size actually.

We were somewhere around Edmonton when the drugs began to take hold.

At least this movie killed someone in the first 10 minutes.

@floatybirb @klu9 Hey man some of us are Canadians

#Monsterdon

They aren’t wasting any time in getting the #monsterdon animal attacks under way, I’ll say that for this movie.

#FoodOfTheGods

The entire fediverse, channelling DaShareZone: if it sucks, hit the bricks. Just walk out!

#monsterdon

@cd0 Marjorie Gortner is the Flash Gordon of portions of a novel by H.G. Wells.

#monsterdon #foodofthegods

This movie starts with some boys playing Ice Football, which is like American football (aka "Hand Egg") but played on the snow. It was a practice game.

Then we get a narration where one of the football guys says that they are going to an island to relax before the football game, and he's brought his PR guy (which I'll pretend means "boyfriend" until told otherwise) to the island. It's sort of a misty northern island, I think in Canada because I think all of this is Canadian.

#monsterdon

Is this the prequel to Yellowjackets

#Monsterdon

Wait

Is this a Foote Balle movie

Why was I not made aware

#monsterdon #handEgg

Credits so nice, we titled it twice. #Monsterdon

Hey this can't be that bad, it's H.G. Wells right!? /jk /s

#Monsterdon

Oh boy, I love portions

#Monsterdon

So I think we're watching a movie about this shit or something.

@moira #monsterdon #WrongFood

Jaws was about food too, if you think about it...

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Don't cross the streams, Egon.

#monsterdon #WrongFood

yes, he's having sex with you, but he's thinking of lab rats

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

@kshernandez What do you mean? Have YOU ever seen a house flooded like this? How do you KNOW it's not exactly like this? I think some filmmaker must have done a bunch of research to get it so accurately portrayed. Should have won an award for visual effects!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon

Man, killer synths kicking in...

I'm having to turn this part up actually. Not even lying.

#Monsterdon

PREPARE FOR HACKER MONTAGE

HACKER MONTAGE INCOMING

HACKER MONTAGE HERE

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods2

Ah yes, smashing the monitor. That is a great way to erase the data on a computer because that's how computers work.

(Yes yes, it was a combined casing, but nonetheless, it was the CRT that was smashed. That wouldn't get any of the actual data unless it shorted it or something.)

#Monsterdon

oh wait, this is the beginning of "28 Days After" isn't it?

#monsterdon #WrongFood

#Monsterdon 🐓 🐇 🐄 🌽 🥚 🍿 👺 😱

that was simultaneously a lot of and way too few giant animals but thanks @Taweret for hosting, and @cherizilla for the outstanding chicken-stamped bingo card and @JoeWynne for the reassuring trivia.

Of course, thanks to all you #Monsterdonians who made it fun!

@jsadow @miru the sequel to this #Monsterdon very well might do me in

Based on the final scene of FOTG, one would assume that FOTG2 would be udder fantasy.

#Monsterdon

At least they were trying to address environmental fears back then. Even in this crappy manner. #Monsterdon

Sometimes a man just needs something to do, like make pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails.

#Monsterdon

@MindTGap @Louisa ...spherical giant cows.... #Monsterdon

Oh Simon Fraser--that means I have actually probably been on that same BC ferry but I didn't see any giant animals except geoducks.

#Monsterdon

@patioboater didn't you know that you can just hook up any electricity to anything and it's fine #monsterdon

@nev
He was the Chief in Hill St Blues!
#FoodOfTheGods #monsterdon

@floatybirb Welp, 100% they didn't copy each other! nobody's dumb enoigh to think "I'll rip that off! That rihht there!... gold!" #Monsterdon

@strangefour Evergreen #monsterdon post

This movie would actually have been better if it had a tiresome, obvious, didactic message all the way through instead of just at the end.

#Monsterdon

@otheorange_tag actually now that you mention it is is really strange that we've seen two #monsterdon movies where the monster is some while food that comes out of the ground.

@flowerpot

#Monsterdon

an unrealized allegory for an unseen future (pfas and the like)

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

Giant Canadians

#monsterdon

Speaking of babies

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

lol, also making children look sinister....because they are!

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Killer explosive tampons! FTW!

Movie keeps going?!

#monsterdon

"I hate to think of what would happen if even a trace of that stuff was left."

Because you did such a great job of destroying it by just smashing a few bottles on the ground and not even looking at the original well or anything. That was definitely some fine job you did of making sure it couldn't possibly get out.

#Monsterdon

WHERE IS GIANT BABY!? WE WERE FORESHADOWED A GIANT BABY!
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

I hope a red puppy drinks that water...

#Monsterdon

@Configures @jonny That was why they were there at first, but I missed why they decided to come back. #monsterdon

Sassy no longer horny.

#Monsterdon

After all our minion rats die, the albino boss rat, who someone else here called Elric of Mousiboune appears for a boss battle with the main bro, who has run out of shotgun shells. Main bro wins by using his shotgun stock as a club, and we get more rats doused in fake blood.

The next day, the water is gone and we are stacking up all the rat corpses in a pile, then dousing them with the remaining jar of rock cum, and then burning them.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon No more shabby Shelly Winters and her giant hats…

Good news! Rat pelt fashion is now in season

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

cool giant rat puppets though

not cool enough to forgive physically torturing and killing rats for the production

but cool puppets

#Monsterdon

Yes, these wet giant carcasses will easily burn. #monsterdon

This is isomorphic to a lot of zombie movies: hungry antagonists, protagonists who bicker and screw each other up a lot. Boarded windows, improvised bombs….

#monsterdon

you know who likes giant food? babies

#Monsterdon

Why are they piling up the giant mi- rat bodies right at the house?

Oh WOW that's going to smell...

Good luck selling that house. Ever.

#Monsterdon

One of them survives and what would normally take evolution millions of years, it's offspring can swim. Then you're fucked. #monsterdon

It IS the final boss!!!

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

yeah yeah rat leader whatever

feed the baby the giant food

#Monsterdon

I feel bad for the rats doing their own damn stunts

#Monsterdon

@jonny They are football players just because. I think they explained why they came back in a quick conversation I missed most of. I think it was to investigate the giant animals, but that might be wrong. #monsterdon

It’s a boy!

#Monsterdon

That special effect blew the budget
#monsterdon

Firebomb the wooden cabin. Good idea.
#monsterdon

_Gort shoves two incompetently crafted pipe bombs into a nearby dam and lights their fuses_

Hey fun story, do you know why controlled demolitions need extremely carefully timed det cord runs in order to be effective? Oh well ho hum never mind, I'm sure it's not that important

#monsterdon

@JoeWynne That's right! there were the giant maggots. I wonder why not any other giant bugs though. #monsterdon

We're gonna get all the way to the end of this movie and it's never gonna make up its mind what animals these rats are actually supposed to sound like

#Monsterdon

@moira Rosemary's Rat
#monsterdon

now feed the baby the giant food

#Monsterdon

That 15 foot section of wood planks was holding back the whole river? #monsterdon

While the remaining girls are panicking and giving birth, rats are eating through the ceiling, so bundle girl fortifies themselves in one room.

Meanwhile main bro is driving the jeep with Not Harrison Ford and I guess they're demolishing a dam to drown the giant rats or something.

I hope that doesn't make the rock cum pollute the water and create giant killer fish.

#monsterdon

@CactuarJoe uh, is that really water...?

#Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

be hilarious if she gives birth to a giant rat

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

I HATE birth scenes in movies, I feel it's such cheap drama

#Monsterdon

Everyone knew how to make pipe bombs in the 70s, it was common knowledge
#monsterdon

lol, loving the gushing water special effect

#Monsterdon

Oh, a wooden dam.

#Monsterdon

Okay we can composite giant animals but water is just too hard

#Monsterdon

Oh no a giant rat broke through the window and ate Hat Gal. RIP Hat Gal, we will miss your weird pious streams of consciousness.

#monsterdon

Plot twist: she gives birth to a giant rat!
#Monsterdon

After the girls get horny because they're in danger, the main bro decides to be a man of action and throw molotov cocktails at the rats then drive off to um... get something... help I think... while the girls hide inside.

The rats crawl over their cabin then decide to eat it. A cunning stratagem.

#monsterdon

You COULD close the door
#monsterdon

She got a good death scene out of this terrible terrible movie, I’ll give Mrs Skinner that. #monsterdon

Never make a cabin out of Gouda.

#Monsterdon

@gnomon a hundred trillion paramecia the size of lima beans, soccer-ball size volvox rolling around...

#monsterdon

the giant rat puppets are fun. the looping footage of rats running by is less fun

#Monsterdon

Is this better or worse than the movie were a shit ton of spider's webbed William Shatner into a cabin?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods

@saucerlost

You won't. You'll die in a rat neck!

#Monsterdon

IN!

APROPRIATE!

HORNINESS!

#Monsterdon

The immediate danger makes me horny trope #monsterdon

#monsterdon
Dialogue.. do you have to think about it?

"I want you to make love to me."

WHAT IS WRONG WITH STRAIGHT PEOPLE

#monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods

"I know you're giving birth and everything but I'm just coming to terms with the death of my husband, so..."

#Monsterdon

Heeeereessss RATTY!
#Monsterdon

Last shot of the movie is going to be the baby eating that FOTG stuff, isn't it?

#Monsterdon

Hey, you know what naturally parasitize field mice? Ticks. Just throwing that out there.
