Four years after hanging up her Daisy Dukes, Catherine Bach starred in this incoherent mess of a movie of the type that makes one wonder what they were putting in the water back in the '80s. How anyone could write a script so utterly inane and not immediately consign it to the shredder is beyond me.
The plot summary on IMDb promises giant rats, as investigated by intrepid reporter Pam Weiss (Bach) and her photographer Sharon (Charlene Dallas). The ladies find no evidence of over-sized rodents (the only rat in the whole film is regular sized and very dead), but they do discover a scheme by unscrupulous property developers to rid a planned site of down and outs by abducting them, using an old network of tunnels to smuggle the bums onto a ship at the city's docks.
Other reviews mention the appearance of a 'rat-man' who lives in the sewers, but don't get too excited: he's just a regular guy with lanky hair (Scott McKay) who, with the help of old vagrant Apple Bob (Syd Beard), helps to rescue the roving reporters with a well-aimed Braeburn.
Although listed here as a thriller/horror, thrills and frights are in short supply; boredom and exasperation, on the other hand, are never far away. The biggest shock is seeing poor John Saxon (Enter The Dragon, A Nightmare on Elm Street) wasted in the pointless role of newspaper editor.
