This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Planet X on an gross elliptical orbit comes by Earth. A private company owned by Dr. Christopher Steele (Randal Malone) sends a spaceship to explore the planet, which we discover is inhabited by rats. The rats manage to kill off all the humans except Sonja (Tasha Tacosa). A small one appears to climb inside her vee only to eat its way out of her tummy, clearly an Alien spoof that didn't work well. She manages to return to earth with rats that battle the humans.First off, this was designed to be a camp "so bad it is good" film. As far as the special effects, if achieves the goal. However the dialogue and plot lack engagement and cleverness needed to go along with the bad props. If you are going to create a guy to spoof Dr. Strangelove, don't go half way. Weak characters.Guide: f-word. No sex or nudity.

RAT SCRATCH FEVER is another indie science fiction film done on a very low budget which simply isn't enough to bring the required special effects to life. It's about a plague of super-rats invading the Earth and only a lone space woman having the power to save mankind. This lamentable B-flick feels like an average episode of RED DWARF only cheaper. It's chock full of bad CGI effects and quickly descends into headache-inducing inanity.

Giant Rats,Ford Austin sweats Machismo and cool explosions and rides ! Okay,So we open on a exotic Planet X and it's really neat,Until you get the extras viewed and found out it is a Porno Set .The acting was on par with any on SYFY Channel and the deaths are more than that channel can handle.We like this film on so many levels,That the budget cannot explain,Amazing look seen through out film.Tasha as the lead goes thru a variety of emotions and always has this vulnerable,but menacing undertone.Ford was at his pinnacle as a zero-budget leading man and really tries hard to show multiple sides to a character that is basically not likable.Randal was truly stretching his acting skills with props,makeup and costume that made sense,In this scenario.Leroy uses big real rats,Alongside his REEL RATS and his Remote control vehicles have it all in gear and his scale models of Los Angeles are breathtaking.

A top secret space expedition to Planet X results in the crew being killed by the giant rats (complete with glowing red eyes) that inhabit the planet, and the only survivor, Sonja, is able to make it back to earth but brings some rats back to earth with her and is also being controlled by a space rat that crawled into her brain through her... ahem... nether regions, and she goes around eating everybody.A great deal of the movie then focuses on Sonja, who is unable to die, and her condition, and the rat leader inside her brain looking to lead his "people" to taking over the world. This gives way for an incredible finale where the giant rats rampage through the city and cause mass (and I mean MASS) destruction.Everything about this movie: bad acting, hilarious special effects, gore, giant man-eating rats, action, explosions, miniature models, all work together in perfect harmony to make a highly entertaining bad movie.One thing I found comical was that in the place of actual buildings and locations we have miniature models, and in the place of vehicles we have remote-controlled cars, with the drivers CGI'd inside. Also, instead of CGI rats, all of the rats are either real rats put inside the miniature models I was talking about earlier or life-size puppets, which I really appreciate. I don't know what it is about model miniatures with me, but it just works.Some scenes in particular that stick out for me include the rat breaking out of the woman's head, and a car commercial with stop-motion rats (probably an homage to the KIA Soul hamster commercials) that had me cracking up.Suggested MPAA: R for violence/gore, some involving animals, and for some language
