Cinema Fiasco presents The Food of the Gods [M]

Director: Bert I. Gordon

Starring: Marjoe Gortner, Pamela Franklin, Ralph Meeker, Ida Lupino

There's nothing funnier than watching crappy movies with mates. Melbourne's premier bad-movie buffs, Janet and Geoff (Geoff's the one on the left without trousers), are joined by celebrity guests to provide live commentary for this hilariously-dreadful film at the Astor Theatre. Heckle the luckless stars! Ridicule the ludicrous dialogue! Jeer the hardly-special special-effects! You'll choke on your Choc-Ice.

The film? Oh ... um ... yes ... well ... it's based on the H. G. Wells novel and tells the "story" of a group of hunters who discover an entire island that is crawling with animals that have somehow grown to giant size. The most dangerous of all of these, however, are the rats, who are mobilising to do battle with the human intruders. Great stuff, eh!
