Customer Reviews of The Rats
Incredibly good! When I saw this movie I thought, Oh great, another low bugdet, lameo B-movie, but it turned out to be great Scifi. The acting was great too, but you have to give credit to those rats, and you never know if some science experiment can actually go wrong, especially in a place like New York. Hey ya never know.
When a customer is strangely bitten in Garsons local department store, Susan Costello (highly underrated Madchen Amick) the head of relations, starts to worry. Rats have been overpowering the city in ways people can barely escape surviving the horrific attacks. Rats infest the rec center pool where Susans daughter swims, people have been killed by the little terrors, and the rats seem to be leaving their little presents all over Garsons. With little time left to destroy these Rats from reproducing, Susan calls in Rodent specialist Jack Carver (Vincent Spano) and his assistant Ty to help sort out the mess. As things grow worse and the Rats grow more powerful, they know they must think of a way to destroy them and quick.
The acting was great as I said before. Vincent Spano was good as the Rats expert. Haven't seen him in a while. Madchen Amick was beautiful. For the credit she should get, she's a highly underrated star. This is definetely a movie that would catch your interest. It keeps pace, and even gives you an ominous ending. 5 stars for a great movie.
One of the best rat films
A customer at a posh department store is bitten by a rat in a dressing room. As a result, the store fires its current exterminators and hires the best in the city.
But the rat is only the start. The store has a big rat problem and it seems to originate outside the store. This is further proved when one of the store managers spots a rat in her home and her daughter is attacked at a recreation center.
Slowly we follow the trail of the rats and unravel the mystery behind their origins and attacks.
Decent acting and wonderful atmospheric settings help move the story along and keep the viewer neck prickling. Actual rat attacks are slight in number as the story and settings are used to create the rising fear of the rats.
I really enjoyed this one except when "the best in the business" baited his trap before setting it for the climactic battle. His competence level had been so high throughout the movie that I found it hard to believe he would intentionally do things backwards. but other than that, this was a surprisingly well-done film.
NIBBLES AND BITS
THE RATS is the best of the many rat horror films we've been "blessed with."..and mainly because instead of trying to make the rats gigantic or monster like, this movie just used large rats to cause the kind of uneasy panic that we had with JAWS and THE BIRDS. There are some really disturbing scenes with these huge rat infestations, and for a t.v. movie, the CGI effects were done very well. The DVD also includes an "Animal Channel" spot showing how the rats were trained to crawl all over the subway train driver.
Madchen Amick, such a beautiful young lady, and ruggedly handsome Vincent Spano, both do a commendable job and they're highly likeable. The little girl, too, is not your typical "aw, mommy, don't get a new daddy" brat.
And yes, Ms. Amick did come out a winner in the finale, but maybe she wasn't wearing the right kind of cologne?
I liked this movie...it's fun.
