    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      There have been reports that the enormous rat Ben was not portrayed by an actual rat, which is not true. Ben was played by a Gambian pouched rat (Cricetomys gambianus), a distant relative of the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), the species used in the film. Gambian pouched rats, while fairly docile, can grow to a body length of as much as 10-17 inches from the head to the base of the tail, with the tail about the same length or longer, and can generally weigh anywhere from two to over six pounds.
    • Goofs
      In the funeral home scene, when Joseph Carter first walks in, we see him from the waist down and he is wearing a long blue coat. When we see a full shot of Carter, he is neither wearing or carrying a long blue coat. Mr. Martin, outside, is wearing the coat we originally see.
    • Quotes

      Willard: You stole this company from my father. It killed him and it killed my mother and now you're trying to kill me. You're trying to take my house. You made a fool of me in front of everybody. You made me hate myself. I thought about it a lot, hating myself. Well right now, at this moment, I LIKE myself.

    Not too bad..
    If ever Crispin Glover needed a decent role then this was tailor made for him. After refusing to work on BTTF 3 and a terrible performance in Charlies Angels, i got the feeling that he thought too high and mighty of himself. But at last a role that he plays superbly as the victim of constant harassment at work who seeks revenge by taming and using the rats in his basement that he was supposed to get rid of. You can't help but feel sympathy for him ( I know I would like to do that to my Boss!!).

    Altogether a very well made film that will give you the creeps, it falls into the watch once only category.

    Final Verdict 7/10
