Revenge of the Rats

About This Movie

Revenge of the Rats is a curious blend of horror and thriller that truly captures a sense of dread with its setting. The sweltering heat of Frankfurt during a municipal workers' strike creates a palpable tension, where the city becomes a breeding ground for infected rats. The performances are solid, with a gritty realism that makes the horror feel more immediate. The practical effects, especially during the rat encounters, have a rawness that adds to the unsettling atmosphere. It's not just about the rats; it's a commentary on societal neglect and the chaos that can erupt when systems break down. The pacing is uneven at times, but that adds to the disoriented feeling of the characters and the viewers alike. Definitely one to ponder over long after the credits roll.
