Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Sam Panico Thanks to Paperbacks from Hell, I've learned all about James Herbert, the British horror author whose four The Rats novels pretty much defined the evil rats against man genre. Imagine my surprise in finding this Canadian horror film that pretty much takes Herbert's story and runs away with it (or gets away with it).Paul Harris is a divorced high school teacher and basketball coach who is dealing with rats the sizes of small dogs that have been found living in buildings containing steroid-rich grain (ripped from today's headlines!) that the health department orders burned. Now that the rats are homeless, they're looking for a new home and new eats, too.First, they surround a baby in a high chair and make him a snack. Then, they get a senior citizen. Soon, they're chasing down Scatman Crothers and eating him, too! Oh no, Scatman!Even spraying the rats with gas does nothing. Nope, instead they attack a bowling alley and a movie theater showing a Bruce Lee movie (director Robert Clouse also directed Lee's Enter the Dragon and Game of Death). None will be spared as the rats feed. Not Trudy (Lisa Langlois, Happy Birthday to Me), the cheerleader in love with Paul. Not her best friend Martha (Lesleh Donaldson, Curtains, Funeral Home, Happy Birthday to Me). And certainly not the mayor who acts like he's in the Canadian version of Jaws and then has a party on a subway train that gets infested by rats. Finally, Paul, his love interest Kelly and his son make it through the rats' nest only to get on the same train as the mayor's dead body.So how did they get the rats for this movie? By putting dachshunds in fur suits, a The Killer Shrews plan if I ever heard one. Sadly, one of the dogs died during shooting as it was suffocated by its suit.Herbert referred to this film as "absolute rubbish." Sadly, we've yet to see the definite adaption of his work. We'll have to make due with this, I guess. Where I disconnect with the film is that I could see it happening in New York, but Toronto? That's the cleanest city I've ever been in. I bet the rats could do much better elsewhere.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Having a rodent problem is no walk in the park. But when they ingest something in huge amounts, that's when the nightmare begins. It all starts with a grainery storage where the corn feed is not just unsafe for sale, but it contains a steroid that it's a violation of profiting purposes. Once the rats got a hold of the grain, the feeding frenzy starts to take place. High school students are always doing stuff. Sports, homework, going out, etc. However, this will be one night, no one will ever forget. The student and toddler are the starting course of the rats' carnivorous casualties. Then the old man after his date. With all those attacks, how will it end? A brave coach and his son joins with a city official against the madness. Even Though this is an early 1980's horror movie, it was fun though. Showing snippets of one of Bruce Lee's film, it was very nice. I have seen rats the size of cats. Having a gun or a big knife or sword can nip it in the bud. This movie can also make exterminators cringe. Have your guns ready for this film, at least bugs aren't involved. 2 out of 5 stars

atinder This is very loosely based on Classic James Herbert Novel Rats , I heard nothing but really bad stuff comment about this movie, It taken me while to see it!As I been in Killer Rats movie mood lately , I gave this go.You know what, I actually it enjoyed it, I thought it was so much better then I thought it was going to be.We know no movie is better then any book. no matter how good the movie is never come close to the book.I found this really well paced it as some really good attack scenes in this movie, some very bloody moment in this movie not not gory.Those are some big ass rats in this movie (I know their dog in rats suit) They didn't look half that of bad.The acting was really good in this movie for this kind of movie from the whole cast. I didn't like some of the sub plot were a little boring at, Girl in love with teacher, they should have skip that, we could got more Rat actions.The loved the way the movie ended 7 out of 10. I had fun watching this movie!

saint-21 OK, i remember seeing deadly eyes on cable back in or around 84...I haven't seen it since, oh wait , i rented it on video around 90 or so to see how it held up. Well, not bad, but by 1990 early 80's horror films started to show some age. I would like to see a DVD copy though. I remember big rats attacking everyone, they seem to feed off of eating grain to get to this size. It's one was kinda bloody. There's a scene were the rats eat a little baby, attack a subway and movie theater.. And this film is really well remembered for scatman crothers. I love this guy, hes great in everything hes in.. But i don't think he lasts too long here... Maybe we will see warner bros release this on DVD someday.. I cant even find it on you tube. Also its Canadian production so we have a few actresses from another canada film Happy Birthday to Me... Don't think this one did too well at the box office...
