Stephen King claims this is his favorite movie. It’s a pretty cool little film. It definitely has the Stephen King “feel” to it with well-drawn but odd characters and creepy rats attacking a man’s house. The man is played by Peter Weller (Robocop himself) who basically carries the entire film on his back as he portrays a man slowly going insane over his aggressive pest problem.
It’s such a weird premise for a horror film and yet it works. Ferocious rats are taking over this man’s house while his family is away and he turns mad in his quest to rid his home of the pests. If you’re thinking this sounds super cheesy, it absolutely is but it works because everything is played straight and serious and the acting is so good.
