Jamie R This is a vivid documentary that accurately depicts different human interactions with rats around the world. The documentary is mainly focused on rat mitigation in cities as well as the health risks of living in close proximity with rats. The film creates an environment for the viewer that keeps them on the edge of their seat and wanting more by using a good score and creepy imagery. Looking at this film from the perspective of a New Yorker after the COVID 19 pandemic, it strikes a deep chord within me. The film truly manages to stay relevant after 7 years as its implications of infectious rat-borne disease outbreaks feel even more threatening after 12 months of lockdown. Rat mitigation in general seems to be particularly relevant these days as the Rat population in New York has exploded according to many estimates. I would wholeheartedly recommend this film to anybody who doesn't have a fear of rodents. That being said, there are some problems with the film. The pacing seems slow at times and there are sequences that feel a bit overdramatic. The film truly fits the genre of horror as it offers a more pessimistic view of rat mitigation and health issues surrounding rats. Looking back, I wish that the film offered more possible long-term solutions to rats rather than just filling the audience with horror stories. However, I still enjoyed the film and recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic, just so long as they don't have a phobia of rodents.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Horribly done. Poorly scripted. Not worth the time to watch it. The cheesy effect on the narration to make it seem like its a radio talk show or something is straight out of those horrible 8th grade videos from science class trying desperately to be cool. The horror music, even if it is satirical or whatever it was meant to be, is totally overpowering and not balanced well at all. The overall info isnt to bad but its horribly presented and not well organized and in the dissection scene for example they had the researchers talking out loud as if it was common place to state every relevant fact about rats. What a waste of time/my evening. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
