Rat King

About This Movie

So, Rat King is this interesting blend of comedy, drama, and horror set against the backdrop of a very surreal East London. The pacing is quite unique—shifts from laugh-out-loud moments to unexpected, darker undertones. It follows Rat King, this eccentric pest controller, and his eager apprentice River as they make their way through the city in their van. What really stands out are the practical effects; they have this rawness that adds to the unsettling vibe. Performances are noticeably quirky, fitting for the offbeat tone. Themes of urban decay and the bizarre elements of daily life weave throughout, creating this odd tapestry. It’s definitely not your standard genre film, more like a slice of life with a twist.
