Top of the Food Chain is a humorous science-fiction movie that was released in 1999. The movie is set in the small Canadian town of Exceptional Vista where the citizens are frequently terrorized by strange, unexplained events that appear to be caused by extraterrestrial beings. The town's mayor, Claire (Lorry Ayers), dismisses the residents' concerns, insisting that everything is perfectly normal.

However, the situation becomes dire when a local fisherman, Herb (Robert Bockstael), discovers a giant alien creature that has been feeding on the town's inhabitants. Herb takes it upon himself to confront the alien threat and is eventually joined by a team of quirky and eccentric characters, including a skeptical scientist named Harry (Ron Gabriel).

As the battle against the alien menace intensifies, the town's quirky residents find themselves forced to work together to save the town from certain destruction. Along the way, they encounter a variety of bizarre and amusing situations, such as a group of aliens that are obsessed with Coca-Cola and a lovable, yet dangerous pet dog that has a voracious appetite.

The movie's overall tone is lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek, with plenty of jokes and humorous dialogue to keep the audience engaged. The special effects are also surprisingly good for a low-budget film, and the various alien creatures are suitably creepy and menacing.

One of the main strengths of Top of the Food Chain is its cast of characters, who are all quirky and memorable in their own right. Robert Bockstael gives a standout performance as Herb, the tough-as-nails fisherman who is determined to save his town from destruction. Lorry Ayers is also great as the stubborn and somewhat clueless mayor, while Ron Gabriel provides some comedic relief as the befuddled scientist who is dragged into the conflict.

Overall, Top of the Food Chain is an entertaining and fun movie that is sure to delight fans of the science-fiction and horror genres. It's a testament to what can be achieved with a limited budget and a creative team of filmmakers, and it deserves to be recognized as a cult classic of the genre.
