This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1977 for the first release of The Food of the Gods.
This is a vintage Japanese theatrical poster for the 1977 eco-horror film The Food of the Gods, based on the novel by H.G. Wells. The Japanese title in massive red characters reads 「巨大生物の島」, which translates to Island of Giant Creatures. The word “FANG” is used as the eye-catching English subtitle — a reference to the oversized animal threats featured in the film.
A strange substance bubbling from the earth causes animals to grow to monstrous proportions. When a group of people becomes trapped on a remote island, they must battle giant rats, wasps, chickens, and other oversized threats in a fight for survival. A cult classic of the 1970s giant-creature subgenre.
