I cannot recommend this film enough to fans of B-horror. There's lots of gore, violence, slapstick humor, and it's like watching a how-to guide of making movies about giant rodents. I thought it was alot better than the first one. Plus it's Canadian, and their horror movies are usually better than the average hollywood low budget programming. If you study the camera angles you can see how trick photography made the rats look enormous. The scene with the giant 5 year old kid was the absolute best though. If you want to see a little more of the film before you get this product just see if you can find the trailer on youtube. I saw the preview for this movie on an old vhs tape of a different movie and I immediately had to watch it!

If you love those good old-fashioned Saturday monster movies then you may want to take a look at this great straight-to-cable sequel about giant mutated rats that run amok at a college campus.
Of course, as is always the case, the authorities don't believe anyone and the Dean is too concerned with promoting a fundraiser for the new pool on campus so the rats keep on eating the co-eds with only one concerned Professor trying to stop them.
The film's conclusion involving giant rats showing up at the pool and eating everyone in sight is a real treat for gore fans. Of course, the dimwitted cops end up killing more people than the rats when their cross-fires end up in the crowd. These people have to be some of the dumbest victims in monster movie history.
If you can find this one, you should pick it up, if you're a fan of great old school cult horror flicks. If not, you might still get a few laughs.

Bias alert: I used to earn my living working with rodents and I have a special affection for this flick. Like the other reviewer I really think it's the culmination of the genre, the ultimate giant-rats flick which should be taught in film schools and according to which others will be judged one day. It does for HGWells what REANIMATOR did for HPLovecraft--sets it in a modern, not-unrealistic-looking university, updates the science and politics a bit, adds sex, and makes it gory. Overwhelmingly, hilariously, gory.
Another reviewer said the original FotGs was better, but in this one, a horny kid about to score gets his genitals bitten off. And there's a synchro-swim scene which is a masterpiece from any point of view. If you need to leave the couch at the beginning of that scene, be sure to pause it. (That's not really a spoiler because like in Greek Tragedy there's a sense of inevitability from the beginning. You know what's coming.)
Fans of "Friday the 13th, the Series" (in other words, beautiful people with good taste) will recognize several Canadian villians in the cast, particularly the great Colin Fox, who played three villians including the one who actually killed Micki. He also played Nero Wolfe's chef.

GNAW, FOOD OF THE GODS 2 is one of those unnecessary sequels that still manages to entertain on a purely primal level. Directed with fanatical glee by Damien Lee, the movie stars Paul Coufos (Thunderground, Busted Up) as a hunky scientist who manages to create a growth hormone that works rather speedily. It's done mainly to help an old friend (Jackie Burroughs, who must like rats--she was in the remake of Willard) with a gigantic little boy who is becoming psychotic and dangerous. That's secondary however to the rats who get loose when one of those annoying animal rights groups raids Coufos' laboratory and inadvertently release a giant rat. Other rats who have eaten the professor's genetically enhanced tomatoes soon break loose and they grow quite big too! Colin Fox (who was on a strange 70s Canadian soap called Strange Paradise) plays a jealous colleague of Coufos who makes the mistake of trying to use the hormone to stop the growth of cancer. The gore is heavy and the creatures look real maybe half the time, but the ending in the swimming pool is great, full of tacky and stupid heroics. The ending is rather abrupt and signaled a sequel, but that never happened, so we'll never know what happens to...oops, no spoiler here. If you like giant rat movies and lots of gore, you'll love this guilty pleasure!

I watched it while I was working and it helped pass the time. Not a remarkable movie, but it was good enough. Had some creepy moments.

Love watching this movie for the laughs.
Basically, the storyline is about a research lab on a college campus testing growth serums. Well, unfortunately several rats manage to escape and all h3ll breaks loose. But my favorite is when the Rat-A-Tak exterminator team shows up. Even the theme music is hilarious. I know this is supposed to be horror, but it's actually one of the funniest movies that I love to watch.
