BIG FREAKING RAT

Cinemavixion Review

Thomas J. Churchill's "Big Freaking Rat" plunges viewers into a low-budget horror experience that, despite its modest means, attempts to deliver creature feature thrills. Released in 2020, the film stars Caleb Thomas, Caroline Abbott, and Nino Aldi, who navigate a narrative punctuated by ample blood and dialogue that often veers into cringeworthy territory. While the production values might be a significant hurdle for some, the creature design itself is noted as a surprisingly decent element, hinting at the passion behind the project. The film's blend of horror and unintentional dark comedy, coupled with a surprising amount of rat-related wordplay, creates a unique, albeit uneven, viewing experience. It's a film that demands a suspension of disbelief, offering a raw, genre-focused effort that may resonate with dedicated fans of schlocky horror.
