Don't listen to the negative reviews

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Okay, I can see where this film's current 3.2/10 is coming from. It's cheap, it's got way too many perverted and LSD-looking sex scenes that just make you want to say "what the hell?" and it doesn't follow the original film at all. But all that aside, I really enjoyed this film. There's a lot to laugh at throughout. There are a number of talented Canadian actors and actresses featured, like Frank Pellegrino who also acted in the 1997 TV film 'Welcome to Dead House'. The soundtrack is catchy and gives the film a distinctive Eighties atmosphere. The giant rats look surprisingly realistic, not at all what I was expecting (hey, at least they weren't digital CGI or wiener dogs in rat suits like in the 1982 flick 'Deadly Eyes'!) The Ontario scenery looked really far out. All in all, this film has some flaws, but I think it deserves a much better rep. There is evident effort put into it, and you can't fault it for that. Anyway, the point of films isn't to find some artistic vision, it's to watch them and have fun doing it, and this film is a lot of fun to watch.

What is 'Gnaw Food of the Gods' about? Well it starts out very exciting with grandmotherly scientist introducing our hero Dr. Hamilton to a ten foot boy screaming out them to, "Get the fxxx out of my room!" Wow! What a great scene! A super growth hormone has turned an innocent child into a monster and now a cure must be found. This movie really had me hooked. However, besides two other short scenes that's the LAST WE'LL SEE OF THAT STORYLINE!!! Instead the movie quickly degenerates into a cheap giant killer rat movie. Not that we ever see the giant rats. No, instead we just get POV shots of people screaming. I'm reminded of 'Grizzly II The Concert.' The first rule of a monster movie is to have a monster! If you're still having any thoughts of wasting your time on this snore fest I'll summarize the plot so you can see how horrible it is.So Dr. Hamilton brings the growth hormone back to his cheap lab at a community college to find a cure.Dr. Hamilton also just happens to be giving extra credit lessons to one of his students who's joined an animal rights group protesting the community college's animal experiments on... rats. Yes just rats. I had no idea there was a save the lap rats movement.PETR People For the Ethical Treatment of Rats breaks into Dr. Hamilton's lab and frees his lab rats whom predictably get into the super growth hormone.Giant killer rats on the loose at a community college. Oh the horror. The police are always on scene but they don't actually do anything until the end! This is why giant killer rats aren't as scary as an actual swarm of rats. They're big, they're easier to kill! Just shoot them! No, the rats don't start breeding rapidly like real life rats. There are only a dozen of them. Shoot them! They're hard to miss.Of course they're would be other easy ways to kill giant rats like... rat poison. Just use a large dose.In the climax the rats attack the school's synchronized swimming event. The police arrive and... shoot them. Yes that's how you kill animals. Just shoot them. They could have done this days ago! Dr. Hamilton protests this, pleading for the life of his beloved pet rat. When your pet is as big as a wolf it's time to put it down. If they're expecting anyone to feel emotions for the death of rat it won't work.So what becomes of that poor little boy? The movie doesn't care. It's too focused on rats... oh wait there are no rats just POV shots! Skip this whole mess of a movie. Even if you like giant killer rats you'll hate this movie because it doesn't even have giant killer rats just POV shots!

This movie rules. The gore was great and the special effects were spectacular. The acting is great and the script is fantastic. The rats look scary and realistic. By far the best scene in the movie is the swimming pool massacre. Because this scene contained the most money in the entire movie is what makes it the best scene in the film. The rats looked more real than ever and the acting and special effects were great. I recommend this movie to anyone who is into the horror genre.
p.s. This movie deserves a much higher rating.

I liked this movie. Its funny more than funny has a cool ending actually the ending was a masterpiece. Kids would just love this move if there parents would let them watch it hah that would be really funny. I didnt see what there wasnt to like about it there is rats and countless deaths bad special effects but who cares. I watched this when i was a kid with my friends and they loved it they were laughing like crazy and absolutly loved the ending. If you like Rats and gore than there is a possible chance that you might actually like it a little.
