Ratboy

About This Movie

Ratboy is this curious blend of comedy, crime, and drama that really captures a certain quirky vibe from the 80s. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow adds to the charm, doesn’t it? You’ve got this failed window dresser, pretty desperate to make a quick buck, and he finds a creature – a being with these rat-like features. The practical effects, while not glamorous by today’s standards, have that raw, unpolished feel that gives the film a unique texture. The performances are a mixed bag; some really nail the oddball humor while others kind of float. It’s a film you don’t see often, and it’s definitely got a distinct tone that lingers.
