Big Freaking Rat

There was no plot synopsis, no rating, no reviews but I went ahead and watched Big Freaking Rat anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. Sure it is low budget and suffers some as a result. But the shortcomings not withstanding it is a fairly watchable movie that provides some laughs and kills.

Only one other review at the time of posting, so I thought I would also give this movie a shot.

It's only redeeming feature is that it watches more like an amateur flick, made by a bunch of friends over the weekend. Part of me wants to give an extra star or two for that reason, but Churchill has too many credits to his name to not know better.

Jokes - such as they are - drag on far too long, and were never funny to begin with. Acting is flat, and dialogue is just bad. More time is devoted to bashing Millenials than the monster rat. No real plot or story, and the climax is rushed.

Not even worth it on a lark.

I wish I could articulate using words the sheer amazement I experienced while watching this film. Im not going to lie I waited days to watch this movie and by each passing day my excitement and adrenaline grew stronger. The fear I felt before watching this film also continued to grow by the second as I am not brave when it comes to horror. Thankfully I had a trusty friend near by who would protect me from these big freaking rats. By the time I sat down with my friend to watch it all bets were off and I knew that this, this was gonna be the movie of a century. All my fears left me and I was able to enjoy the movie for what it truly was, a masterpiece. Thankful for the people who were willing to watch this with me and also for the wonderful producer who made this movie possible.

Only thing left to do is share it with the world, go forth and prosper.

The best thing about this movie is the review titled "Burn it all" ... yes I tell you stop reading this and read that other review ... nah you can read this too and the other review! It is at least for my 5 cents an obvious troll comment! Someone knew their 10 star rating wouldn't change a thing - the review text says it all.

The movie itself is only bearable if you can cut it some slack ... a lot of slack! Acting is ... well never mind that! Although to be fair Felissa Rose is in this! And I am surprised she doesn't show up in the cast listing on the first page here on imdb! I'm certain that will change. What you don't really need to change/add is the "plot". Nothing to see here.

For a low budget movie, the creature itself is quite decent. Although I'm certain that some will compare it to a parody. A lot of blood and dialog that will make you cringe! A shower scene without nudity (I mean why even bother right?) and I reckon the general sense that horror movies are cheap ... still you can feel the passion and the love for the genre those involved have. You may like it better than other (re)viewers here ... just suspend your disbelief from here to eternity and you're good.

PS: almost forgot to mention it, but you could see it in my summary line! A lot of rat jokes - ratting out and all that ... and a part of the movie that could work as a gangster comedy/spoof too. The reason I went from my initial 3 to a 4 rating - acting was fine too for that part - better than for the most of the other parts for sure.

This movie changed my life. It revolutionized what I think about rats. I never took the time to consider they could get that freaking big.
