Top of the Food Chain is a 1999 Canadian comedy-horror film directed by John Paizs, starring Campbell Scott, Fiona Loewi, and Tom Everett Scott. A parody of alien invasion movies of the Fifties, it was released on video in the US under the title Invasion!

The film revolves around a vacationing atomic scientist who encounters mysterious carnivorous beings disguised as traveling salesmen who are feeding on the eccentric population of the small isolated town of Exceptional Vista.

Synopsis

Exceptional Vista, paisible bourgade d'Amerique du Nord, coule des jours paisibles, en depit de la fermeture de l'usine a ecrous. Mais voici qu'un beau jour le signal du relais de television se brouille et c'est la ville entiere qui bascule dans l'inconnu et la terreur: des citoyens disparaissent les uns apres les autres et leurs restes atrocement mutiles sont decouverts peu apres. L'arrivee d'un savant atomiste contribue a laisser croire que des extraterrestres ont debarque.

Andy McDermott is a tourist seeing the sights of Paris with his friends Brad and Chris. When Serafine Pigot leaps off the Eiffel Tower just before Andy is about to bungee jump, he executes a mid-air rescue. She vanishes into the night, leaving Andy intrigued – and also unaware that she is the daughter of David Kessler and Alex Price, the couple seen 16 years earlier in the first film. That night, Andy, Chris, and Brad attend a night club called "Club de la Lune". The club's owner, Claude, is actually the leader of a werewolf society that uses the club as a way to lure people (preferring tourists) in to be killed. Serafine arrives, tells Andy to run away and transforms into a werewolf. The club owners transform into werewolves as well and butcher all the guests. Chris escapes and goes back to Serafine's house. Brad's heart is eaten by a werewolf and Andy is bitten by another werewolf.
