The Worst Film Ever

So much average

A different way of telling a story

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I wasn't sure what to think about this movie when I found it online and decided to download it. After watching it, I can happily say that it was an entertaining, effective little horror movie.It's really what the title says. Rats invade Manhattan and start to get aggressive and even kill people. It's a bit cliché at times, but the movie has it's moments.I liked the acting of most characters, especially the kind rat exterminator. He made me laugh several times.The Rats is certainly not a bad movie. It's not the BEST horror movie out there using normal creatures as a theme, but they did use real rats for most scenes. So that deserves a thumb up.I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars.

I'll be truthful, when I first picked up this movie in the library, I though I would cry myself to sleep because of how horrible it might be, but I digress, it was pretty good. There were some scares; some scenes were you just cringe because its rats but I liked it. It boils down to New York run amok by rats, but these are no ordinary rats, they are, in fact, parasitic disease-spreading rodents that broke out of an abandoned genetics lab.The movie had some pretty sly humor and the characters were very well played out. The whole concept of rats invading a luxury department store and finding mounds of rat crap all over the place, using a dark light, was the funnies thing I have ever seen in a rodent movie. Some interesting scenes involving massive hordes and tunnels of rats got me pretty uncomfortable, some, like the pool scene, were suggestive considering massive blood loss of kids.The movie had some pretty snappy comebacks and a humorous relationship between the sophisticated luxury department store owner and the suave discrete exterminator. Their relationship, at points, is hard to look at because of campy level it's on but nonetheless a very good relationship. I liked how the Health Department is trying everything to cover everything up and…..its just a funny, scary movie.Of course, there is a limit of how much corniness and silliness a movie can have. But despite that factor, this isn't that bad of a movie, the rats are more of a vermin that his movie and I think that any horror fan should at least try this movie. I like it, not loved it, but like it, and I hope other will.

I have to agree with all the people here, the movie was good for a TV movie. Cast, directing, effects, all good. The only problem is the script that has all the elements of a rat movie, but nothing extra. It's a very well done cliché.You've got the damsel in distress, the rat exterminator white knight, the black sidekick, the indifferent/irresponsible city official and, of course, mutant rats. Why can't they be normal rats? Because you need to kill them all at once in the end, this one being the worst part of the formula: build the tension, steady, ready, release!So, OK, the script was almost believable, there were some interesting twists here and there, like a gushing fountain of rats, a guy with a coat of biting rats, the look of the rat that witnesses the brutal killing of its peer... mainly scenes with rats :) But I think it never aimed above the rating of TV movie, and it never got there.

Rats invade every place in New York...you get a B-movie plot. The beautiful, elegant, sexy Madchen Ammick stars in this cheesy Horror flick for cable.I won't talk about the plot because there isn't much to tell about it. In fact, I will only comment about the scenes that are worth the watch. The rat attack in the swimming pool is a must see as it's a little but tense moment as the rats almost bite the young Daveigh Chase.Near the end, when the beautiful Madchen falls and is attacked by thousands of rats really made me worry because I could only think about her beautiful face getting disfigured. To my happiness, she only gets some scratches and is rescued by Spano and other guy. The rat massacre at the ending is also a must see for the cheese factor. What a cartoonish ending! This is a must see for people who have a phobia for rats like me. This is what Horror is about, scare and make you feel tense. This low budget movie makes it's job and entertains B-movie consumers for about 90 mins.Watch "The Rats" for it's intention to entertain and to watch the stunning, incredible Madchen Ammick.
