Ratstar

About This Movie

Ratstar is one of those quirky gems that doesn’t get enough attention. The film leans heavily into its sci-fi horror roots, creating a gritty atmosphere that feels both claustrophobic and chaotic. The practical effects, especially the mutated rats, are pretty impressive for the budget—there's a rawness to them that just heightens the tension. Orson's character as an android is fascinating, capturing that sense of isolation and misunderstood identity, especially in such dire circumstances. The pacing is uneven at times, but it adds to that feeling of uncertainty. There’s something unsettling about the mix of human and creature, and you can’t help but get drawn into the mess they’re trying to navigate.
