The Rats (2001) DVD Review

Posted by Horror Grinder on July 16, 2008

The movie begins with a hot chick (Kim Poirier of Decoys 1 & 2, Dawn of the Dead remake) in a dressing room, trying on clothes.. she gets naked but it doesn’t show her tits! What the fuck? Hmmm.. hang on, a quick google “Kim Poirier naked” search shows her naked in the scene. Cocksucking Netflix and their rated R version!

Anyway though, storywise it’s about a “rogue colony” of rats that have gotten ballsy and swarms of them go around attacking people. They start of in a fancy department store, when a custumor gets bitten (Kim Poirier) the assistant manager (Mädchen Amick) tries to cover it up and calls in a discrete exterminator (Vincent Spano). By then though the rats have begun to wage war. Oh and they’re carrying some nasty disease too.

Turns out some scientist had been testing some shit on lab rats that turned em mean and strong. Since the Health Department won’t take action it’s up to Mädchen Amick and Spano to kill them all.

Some of the scene transitions were a bit rough, but who cares. It was nice to see Mädchen Amick (Shelly from Twin Peaks) is still lookin hot after all these years. She’d put on some weight at the end of the 90s. All the rat attack scenes were hilarious, especially The Jaws-esque rats in the pool one. Such a fun flick it switched me right into drinkin mode.
