The Food of the Gods

American sci-fi thriller from film-maker Bert I. Gordon, adapted from the novel by H. G. Wells. When a mysterious substance surfaces from the ground on a remote island, farmers Mr and Mrs Skinner (John McLiam and Ida Lupino) believe it is a gift from God and feed it to their animals.

As a result, they grow to an enormous size - and so does the wildlife on the island.

Soon, the island is overrun with monstrously large creatures and it is left to the farmers and a group of tourists to destroy the creatures and the food of the gods.
