Rodentz (2001)

Due to chemicals being dumped down a sink and evil experiments, rats grow super pissed off and one ever grows to the size of a human. The movie wasn't all that cheesy (pun intended) until the giant rat started walking around. It reminded me of that scene from the Princess Bride with the giant rats walking around attacking people. Decent rat flick, above most of it's kind. 2.5 out of 5.

• Douglas: The typical drunk janitor of the horror movie. Gets chomped early on of course.
