About
You may enjoy this if you like campy 1970s creature features such as Empire of the Ants or Willard, especially with a goofy-but-grim streak; Not for you if you want polished scares or believable effects.
Pros: fast creature attacks; campy B-movie fun; creepy giant rats | Cons: weak story; cheesy effects; thin characters
