Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
"Anywhere you go in this city, you're only about five feet from a rat." These reassuring words set the tone for The Rats, a cheesy 2002 TV movie with a rather fun attitude toward its icky subject. The furry creatures are overrunning a Manhattan department store, with only store manager Mädchen Amick and exterminator Vincent Spano standing between the city and the establishment of a full-scale rodent kingdom. What takes this movie way beyond Willard is the CGI paint box, which brings scenes--many, many scenes--of swarming rats: rats filling a children's swimming pool, rats dropping onto a subway car, rats teeming over unfortunate extras. The movie isn't top-drawer in budget or anything else, but it seems aware of the 1950s monster-movie spirit, and the rat-cam and nibbling sound effects are unleashed with glee. It might make you think twice about lifting that toilet lid. --Robert Horton

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Rat Patrol...
I've loved killer rat movies ever since I sat mesmerized by the original WILLARD (and it's lesser sequel BEN) back in the early 70s. Something about these furry, much-maligned rodents has always brought a smile to my face and a pleasant chill down my spine. THE RATS is an absurd, yet completely enjoyable return to the good old days of rampaging rodents terrorizing mankind. Garson's department store in mid-town Manhattan is the proverbial "ground zero" for an all-out invasion by millions of genetically ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Oh, you dirty rats!
When rogue rats get medieval on a Manhattan department store, its occupants must scratch and scrape their way to survival. Luckily, there just happens to be a rat expert on hand who knows even more about the personal habits of the wily rodents than the American public knows about Paris Hilton. This flick is not to be confused with another mouseterpiece of the same name, released in 2003 -- that one is about killer rats who terrorize the inmates of an insane asylum.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - predictable and tame TV movie, but mildly entertaining.
Lab experiments have created mutant rats. Actually, they look just like regular rats, except they're a little stronger and more aggressive. These rats start attacking people, then a department store executive (Madchen Amick) and a rat exterminator (Vincent Spano) unite to defeat the rats -- and fall in love along the way!

Even for a made-for-TV movie, THE RATS's horror content is disappointinly tame. One man gets killed early in the film, then another man gets it 75 minutes into the film, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad at all.!
We are not talking about cinematic masterpiece here , but this is pretty well done of its kind .Set in New York ,it deals with the situation that arises when mutant laboratory rats escape from their habitat and wreak havoc in midtown Manhattan ,especially in an upmarket department store and a local swimming pool .
The opposition is led by a freelance rat catcher ,winningly played by Vincent Spano ,and by the store's General Manager capably despeatched by Madchen Amick .
Rat attacks are well staged ... Read More
