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…

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…

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…

Apparently these pesky vermin thrive right along beside us with nary a care as to our feelings on the subject, sorta like The Picture Of Dorian Grey, a reflection of our true selves, only smaller, furry-er.
