      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2005 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Apollo Guide What you might expect from a second-rate creature thriller. Rated: 55/100 Mar 16, 2003 Full Review Jeremiah Kipp ToxicUniverse.com Rated: 1/5 Dec 10, 2002 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central the picture isn't so much about even something so banal as eco-paranoia, but about itself and the genre that it simultaneously lampoons and aspires to. Rated: 1/4 Oct 24, 2002 Full Review Blake French Filmcritic.com ...in order to buy this movie, you'd have to abandon sanity altogether. Rated: 1/5 Oct 9, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Just a bad movie overall. Don't waste your time on this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member That was surprisingly good. Especially for a TV movie. The setup and premise is actually solid and can be quite unnerving if you think about it. The actors are likeable and make it more engaging. The conclusion is pretty stupid and weak though... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member (28%) An honestly not all that bad TV killer rat horror flick that has nothing to really offer but a mildly entertaining, all be it forgettable sit. The cast of unknowns do a decent job and unlike something like Sharknado this doesn't feel the need to add lots of pointless cameos from stars at the lower end of their career. How scary you find this film depends upon your own opinion of how you happen to find rats, but there's not really anything here to get under one's skin as it's all a bit clean and safe. Overall this never drops down too low in the quality department to overly feel like a waste of time, but this still doesn't really need to be seen by anyone bar those slightly drunk during the wee hours of the night. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An okay(ish) TV-movie, that doesn't really scare and is only mildly chilling. Shame its not based on James Herberts superb novel of the same name. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable for a made for t.v movie. I love killer rat movies but this one does have a very low body count. I just have to say it is worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A creepy rat-fest. I wouldn't have paid money to see it but it was worth the tv time. Not scream and run scary but seeing so many rats jn one place is horrifying enough. If u like creepy crawly movies then The Rats is perfect. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
