Crude but crafty ...

A horror movie in everything but name, Morgan Spurlock's Rats is a giddy, difficult, occasionally satirical, often stomach-churning thrill ride masquerading as a serious documentary. Dec 16, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Spurlock globe-trots so antically here you suspect he's had a look at Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, imagining rat-spread as a blistering epidemic the world should panic about. Dec 15, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Spurlock never seriously addresses the subject of whether the rat population is escalating with the human population, or if the disease risk is climbing as well. Dec 15, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

If the pic's creepy-crawly photography and colorful subjects weren't enough -- and they are -- a sharp score by Pierre Takal keeps us slightly agitated without ever becoming intrusive. Oct 31, 2016 | Full Review…

If you enter this film with the optimism that perhaps it's going to change your perspective on rats, like many other animal-based documentaries have, you will unfortunately be very, very disappointed. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review…

A documentary that unites the gigantic fear of an epidemic that is both a living and unified monster that moves and operates alongside human intelligence. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 2, 2017 | Full Review…

This is gleefully exploitative in its approach, and as such, it is horribly entertaining. Dec 18, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Rats is very much a horror movie, and intentionally so. There's a John Carpenter-esque soundtrack as well as several jump cuts designed to make you twitchy. Oct 31, 2016 | Full Review…

With the amount of brutality involved, this is far from a feel-good film, but it still manages to be a surprisingly fun watch. Oct 28, 2016 | Full Review…
