Blog & StoriesIn this unsettling black comedy, filmmaker Richard (David Hemblen) spirals into madness as his life crumbles around him, mirroring the rat infestation overtaking his home. Desperate and broke, he pitches a documentary about the vermin to a broadcaster, hoping to turn his nightmare into art. But as the rats multiply, so do his hallucinations, blurring the line between reality and paranoia. Director Jacques Holender crafts a claustrophobic descent into obsession, where every scratch in the walls echoes Richard’s fraying sanity. Sparse, eerie, and darkly humorous, this is a slow-burn psychological horror that creeps under your skin and stays there.
User Reviews
CreepyCritter – 7/10
“I went in expecting a cheap creature feature, but this is so much weirder and more unsettling. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and Hemblen's performance really sells the mental unraveling. It's not perfect, but if you like slow-burn psychological horror, give it a shot.”
GoreHound_2000 – 5/10
“The rat effects are laughably bad at times, but the real horror is in the main character's head. I admired the attempt at blending black comedy with madness, but it didn't quite land for me. Some scenes dragged, and the ending left me unsatisfied.”
IndieHorrorFan – 8/10
“For me, this is a hidden gem. It's not your typical jump-scare horror; it's a slow, creeping dread that builds like a fever dream. The symbolism of the rats as his demons is heavy-handed but effective. Definitely a must-watch for fans of cult horror.”
MovieManiac_99 – 6/10
“A decent watch overall. I enjoyed the character study and the dark humor, but the pacing was a bit off. The rat scenes were more grotesque than scary for me. Still, it's a memorable flick that I'll probably rewatch sometime.”
