The Food of the Gods Trailer 1976 H.G. Wells

After H.G.L.'s first novel, The Time Machine, predicted total destruction by nuclear warfare, the first atomic bomb was detonated. 71 years after his book, First Men in the Moon, another H.G.L.'s prediction came through. At one small step for man, one giant lead for man.

In other books, he predicted ray guns, sonic signaling devices, radio signals bouncing from planet to planet, all realities now. But where does fiction end that reality begin? Are the gridded fire ants from Africa, a warning of H.G. Wells' vision of nature run amok.

Do the killer bees of South America give us a hint of the shape of things to come. In one of his most fantastic books, The Food of the Gods, Wells predicted what could happen in an ecology gone desert, transforming harmless insects and animals into huge and vicious beasts, the brain on the flesh of humans.

Now there! All over the place! The heavy rat! The food of the gods. Imagine a looster six feet tall. Swarms of hawk-sized wasps. And panther-sized rats, putting humans in packs. Now American international pictures brings this most incredible H.G. Wells science fiction classic to the screen.

The food of the gods. How did your husband happen to save it to the chicken? Well, when we found out it weren't no oil, there was nothing to do about it, so we said it to the chicks.

I'm way ahead of ya, kid. I'm gonna take this stuff and have it converted to plant food. Well, then you're gonna feed all the big animals with big plants. Right on! And within five years, I'll go via sale for the past.

If I told you what I felt right now, you'd think it was crazy. Joke. I want you to make love to me. It is crazy, isn't it? At a time like this.
