About This Movie

Rat Bait dives into the murky waters of youthful indiscretion and the harsh realities that follow. The film captures a gritty atmosphere, driven by its raw portrayal of young lives entangled in crime and romance.

The performances, though from lesser-known actors, have a raw authenticity that draws you in, making the characters' struggles palpable. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, add a layer of realism that complements the film's themes of betrayal and lost potential.
