Wells' classic horror novel, The Food of the Gods predicts a future where animals are suddenly at the top of the food chain... and eager to get their fill! On a remote island, a mysterious substance is oozing from the ground. A farmer sees that it acts as a growth hormone and thinks his fortune is made.

Now, it's up to the island's few residents and visitors to destroy 'the food of the gods'... before the animals take over for good!
