Rats! has this gritty, almost claustrophobic vibe, really brings out that urban horror. The pacing? It’s a mix of tension and absurdity, like you’re caught between a full-on panic and dark humor. The practical effects stand out, especially during the rat attacks — it’s not CGI, so you feel the weight of these critters in a way that’s visceral. Todd Strauss-Schulson manages to balance the horror and the absurdity without tipping too far into parody. The performances are solid, too; the cast embraces the chaos and gives it a raw edge. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you, leaving you questioning your next subway ride. It’s distinct, for sure, in how it captures that urban dread.
