Rat King

About This Movie

So, 'Rat King' really dives into that dark side of online gaming addiction. Juri, the main character, feels so real – you can almost feel his isolation seep through the screen. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, kind of mirrors Juri's own struggles. The tension builds when he meets Niki, which flips everything around, and you're left in this unsettling atmosphere. I mean, the practical effects are on the lower side, but they work for the gritty feel of the film. It doesn’t shy away from the consequences of addiction, nor does it glamorize gaming. It’s that raw honesty that makes it a distinctive watch. Definitely something for collectors interested in the psychological aspects of gaming culture.
