About
You’ll likely enjoy this nasty, rat-filled 1990 horror with a grim factory setting and a hulking underground threat; Not for you if you want subtle scares, polished effects, or a tightly explained story—try Phantoms or Silver Bullet instead.
Pros: nasty industrial atmosphere; fun creature feature; strong genre energy | Cons: dated effects; uneven story padding; hard-to-like characters
