In this chilling Croatian horror from 1976, a struggling writer stumbles upon a terrifying truth: rats are not just scavengers but cunning mimics, slowly replacing humans in a quiet, insidious takeover. As the line between man and rodent blurs, the film weaves a Kafkaesque nightmare that echoes the paranoia of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the absurdist dread of Ionesco’s Rhinoceros. Directed by Krsto Papić, this atmospheric gem builds unease with every scurrying shadow, offering a slow-burn descent into madness that will leave you questioning the faces around you. A must-watch for fans of cerebral, body-horror-tinged cult classics.

User Reviews
GoreHound77 – 7/10
“Low-budget but incredibly effective. The rat transformations are creepy as hell, and the paranoid atmosphere really gets under your skin. Not for those expecting jump scares, but if you like slow-burn dread, you'll dig it.”
MidnightMovieBuff – 6/10
“A bit dated, but the social commentary and eerie tone make it stand out. The acting is decent, though the pacing drags in the middle. Still, it's a unique take on body horror that deserves more attention.”
ScreamQueen82 – 5/10
“I appreciate what it was trying to do, but it just didn't scare me. The rat puppets were laughable at times, and the story felt too familiar. Hardcore genre fans might find something here, but it wasn't my cup of tea.”
CrypticCinephile – 8/10
“A hidden gem! The atmosphere is thick with paranoia and the political subtext adds layers. The ending left me stunned. If you're into existential horror and don't mind some ugly 70s visuals, definitely check it out.”
