Friends, I love a good “bad movie.”
I love crappy effects, terrible acting and shoddy production values.
I’m perfectly happy with a silly tits-beer-and-American-flag kinda horror.

There are so many elements here that should play to its favor.
But somehow, writer/directorThomas J. Churchill drops the ball in spectacular fashion on this one.
Good on him for living his dream of making movies.
But thatdoesn’t necessarily mean that he makes entertaining movies, asBig Freaking Ratproves.
The main plot centers around Chief Brody (good one!)
Dave Sheridan comes in halfway through as exterminator Lenny, and does his best with what he’s given.
This is the time to go all out!
Does a bear ship in the woods?
As for the titular star of the movie, this is some rat.
The movie is full of inefficiencies.
Characters apparently don’t know how to eat cereal, smoke cigarettes, or play guitar like normal people.
As a keeper of pet rats, I am always eager to help dispel fears and myths about them.
They are sweet, loyal, and very intelligent creatures who deserve a much better reputation than they have.
But this is one rat that deserves to be splat.
