The Rats

Genetically altered rats escape an abandoned lab and multiply under the streets of New York City and soon begin to chomp on the citizens. For the most part, the rats were done by special effects and graphics, which weren't too bad for straight to video. The thing that really ruined it for me is there wasn't enough bodys to keep the story interesting. Plus the main character fell into a pool of rats for like 30 seconds and came out with only scratches. Skip this rat fest and see one with a beeter story like Willard (2003). 2 out of 5.

Characters:

• Susan: Runs a mall in New York that is the center of a large mutant rat population. Imagaine that.
• Jack: Exterminator who is pretty good at killing off rats. He has his hands full with this project.
• Ty: Jack's assistant, who doesn't even die! So hard to find bad help these days...
• Amy: Susan's daughter who suffers from the 'innocent little girl in peril' complex.
• Mrs Page: Susan's boss, who seems to be cold hearted at times, but still has a tender side.
• Karl: Susan's landlord who doesn't mind rats until they start to eat him.

Random Thoughts and Things Learned
