The Rat

About This Movie

So, The Rat, right? It’s this little gem from 2019 that leans hard into its horror roots. The story takes place on Halloween, which really sets the mood—Renee, our lead, is in this whirlwind romance with Jim. They head to this haunted house, and things just spiral from there. The atmosphere is thick, the pacing keeps you on edge, especially as Renee battles her own fears. Practical effects do a good job here, adding a gritty realism to the scares. I found the performances to be engaging, with some really relatable moments amidst the terror. It’s not groundbreaking, but it has a certain charm, a blend of tension and dark humor that sticks with you after the credits roll.
