A lot of these 70s #Monsterdon movies have had 2 male leads who are best friends and just kind of exchange smug sarcastic quips, maybe one gets killed. It's incongruous compared to the action movies coming out of Hollywood before and after.
You think it's because of Paul Newman and Robert Redford?
#monsterdon "It is crazy isn't it, at a time like this?" (Horny character talking about siege-sex due to giant rats outside a cabin in the woods on Oak Island)
We're not even going to hang a lampshade on it, we're just going to openly complain that we can't turn this thing into a stag film.
Could she just give birth to the Brood Of the Gods already so we can get this over with?

why does fahm lady have American Gothic on the wall?
I hate how these commercials be having me all behind. I also hate knowing Kevin Hart promotes that effing death phone iPhone 17. #monsterdon

rats, sometimes they're dog sized, sometimes winnebago sized
#monsterdon
This is pretty much just night of the living dead, but in the day, and with rats. Day of the living rats. #monsterdon
@floatybirb It it was Jack Nicholson maybe he would have ordered an omelet with tomatoes and then been eaten which would have been satisfying.
Good things there are no dingos in canada because they be going for that baby. #monsterdon
@ohiofi The trucks in Maximum Overdrive were at least the right scale!
Who made who eat underground pudding?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
@trixter innit?! #Monsterdon
@ohiofi i want to see the rat scene again with AC/DC playing #Monsterdon
Them getting on here and actually shooting rats for this film says that the director is a psycho! #monsterdon
Have animals other than chickens, wasps and rats eaten the magic rock cum? I feel like some other insects would have eaten it.
the rats ate my baby?
#monsterdon
I should curate myself some emoji reactions for #monsterdon...
#monsterdon This is a great mini set.
jeesus smh, love me baby
"I want you to make love to me."
I just yanked out my earbuds. I'm going to enjoy the silent footage of happy rats frolicking
Yes. It's crazy. It's the very definition of insane. #Monsterdon #FoodOfTheGods
Morgan might be a bigger psychopath than the big money guy
#monsterdon
Those are 40oz molotov cocktails
Oh, just NOW sheβs realizing her husband isnβt coming back?? Wow
OK, maybe Stand Your Ground law would be helpful in this situation.
Oh no the poor man oh well #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods

I'm starting to think Marjoe is more than just a football player.
β¦
I think he might be, like, John Connor.
#monsterdon I really like the special effect where the rats are crawling along on a scale model of the cabin.
Looks like they used photographs of the real one to build the walls.
Zero hesitation from the scientist on blasting the giant rat.
Nice.
No, like seriously, movies in this sort of time would have had her throw the gun at it and run.
Well.
I did NOT have an IED on my bingo card.
@allanb Effing assholes! #monsterdon :(
#monsterdon He sure got a lot of powder out of those shells.
A mature athlete and his rugged agent saving civilization from an onslaught of giant wild forest animals feels so aptly 70s. π
#monsterdon
It's a good thing Marjoe has enough ammunition for an army.
@wohali the rats want to make a money deal with mrs skinner
"The white one is the leader."
Hmph. No comment.
#monsterdon
βLorna, can you handle one of these?β
βSure!β
βHave you ever shot one?β
βNo.β
βTerrific! Here. Have fun!β
For a quarterback this guy knows a lot about guns and explosives
#monsterdon
Why aren't the rats just eating the FOTG and not bothering with the humans?
@Lazarou That's always a lot of fun in the Toho stuff, too.
they literally ran out of money didn't they holy shit xD
@cocaine_owlbear So what happens if some ravens get into the FOTG?
Holy shit! Did they actually shoot rats for this!? #Monsterdon
OH FFS THAT ONE'S JUST A DRAWING xD
#Monsterdon
The giant rat head puppets aren't too bad, actually.
yes if you push hard enough you can push the baby back inside
Did this movie start out as a Macguyver pilot?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
The "business" man got Et.
#monsterdon
Rats cut the pipes! Aww one's adorably having a sip.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
Further and further behind with the Tubi ads. βSounds good, but wouldnβt bigger creatures have bigger appetites?β #Monsterdon
aww rat by the little water fountain!
literally yes there is a line of dialogue confirming that as I post it
the albino rat is the leader
you ever eat so much F.O.T.G. that your genes change spontaneously
#Monsterdon
I haven't checked with everybody watching this movie right now, but I've got a Bingo card square that says "Monsterdon rooting for the monster".
I think I can hear Monsterdon cheering for the rich bastard going down, so Ima check that one anyway.
Does anyone have a hypothesis about why giant mosquitoes are not attacking the giant rats?
@Lazarou Maybe the film was endorsed by whoever makes rat suits for unions.
#Monsterdon are they going to break another window pain every time they shoot?
The invisible glass breaking is a nice touch.
#monsterdon And I call this look "Le Tigre", and this one "Blue Steel"...
THEY COULDN'T AFFORD THE GLASS FOR THE WINDOW THEY JUST USED THE SOUNDS xD
Not nearly enough giant chickens
#monsterdon

Finally Jack goes down to the rattums in front of the adorable teensy log cabin!
@ohiofi Giant ants!
The rats have their own home made wood wind theme song now?
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
ah, finally, about time.
jack's REALLY upset
"No stop it! Please stop! No!" making no attempt to actually stop him...
oh now they're making lepus-like sounds
SLOP OF THE GODS!
Why does eating rock cum make rats angry?
Okay we're going to try to resucitate the movie CLEAR #Monsterdon #TheFoodOfTheGods
Oh good, a great opportunity to thin out the cast. #Monsterdon
The rats are learning fast and already out-strategizing the humans. #monsterdon
ooof, fuzzy split screen compositing #monsterdon
Ah yes. Electricity is always a favorite attack.
Well so much for the big game in Chicago
Many rats were shot with strawberry jam during the making of this film.
#Monsterdon #FoodoftheGods
I hope they were just shooting red paint balls at the rats π
So while the pregnant lady is giving birth at the worst time, probably so she can have a giant killer cannibal baby, the bros are electrifying the fence outside to chase the rats away.
The rats that decided to be a navy have discovered that they cannot swim and are drowning, ending a riveting debate between the bros on whether giant rats could swim or not.
Oh no, I spilled my red paint!
#Monsterdon
Well, that plan worked out great. #monsterdon
he who hesitates gets bit
I'm rooting for the rats at this point. #monsterdon
They're using all the tricks here. Miniatures, giant props, "giants" and humans conveniently on opposite sides of the screen, "giants" and actors conveniently never in the same frame at the same time while fighting, etc. I love it.
go ahead and shoot, sir, it's what he would have wanted.
oh lovely - this film is really pushing the death count of live animals. That's on thing I hate about these 70s "nature gone berserk" films.
#monsterdon
lol, smart rats fucked up the generator....humanity is doomed!
I like the rat puppets a lot
Rats are master tacticians. Everyone knows that. #Monsterdon
#Monsterdon
I'm late, and I have no idea what's going on. Just starting 2/3rds in...
Ooh giant rats!
@wallabra a European Director I think....one who hates Humanity.
on the animal abuse scale that gets a "fucking yikes"
Wait, rats are smart.
We're just setting things up for a velociraptors in Jurassic Park situation, aren't we?
@MatthewTitus88 Iβve been thinking the same thing.
I saw John Ritterβs sons on Celebrity Family Feud a few weeks ago, and they both look exactly like him!
oh my god I LOVE the split-frame trickery
Okay, Football Man is electrocuting rats, he can die too
#Monsterdon π π π π½ π₯ πΏ πΊ π±
no no not the rattums little peets! Don't shock their little peets!
Those rats can jump that fence. This is as unrealistic as Morganβs cheese eating grin. #monsterdon
#monsterdon I don't claim to be a farmer, but I don't think you can electrify any random fence.
