Rats (2016) Reviews
Rodent Opus
The documentary "Rats" would be excellent if not for its creators' mania for manipulative music and sound effects of horror films. They are out of place in a work with scientific pretensions. The images and information provided by this production of Discovery Channel are already powerful as to dispense with that unnecessary sonic frippery. The research made in different places of the United States, India, Cambodia and the United Kingdom leads to eloquent and sometimes overwhelming sequences that show how the plague is assumed in the world, from extermination with poisons to worship of the rats as sacred beings, passing through the consumption of the rodents as tasty gourmet dishes and their dog-like hunt as if they were foxes. In the last sequence what struck me was that Indian rats revered in a temple were thin and vegetarian-looking... But in spite of the foreign elements added to the sound track it is a good work that deserves to be seen. Recommended.
Rats are populating cities
Obviously the movie deals with rats, rats infestation, rats control, medical effects on the popultation by rats...Rats are everywhere to be found. In big cities like New York as portrait. But they also show, how people try to keep down rat population in India. On one hand, you have New Yorker pest control via toxins, highly self protected. On the other hand India where they beat those rats to death, even touch them with bear hands, having no protection to wear. In Vietnam they found traps to be useful to protect crops or drowning - each their finances possibilities. A variety of pest control throughout nations are presented. You wonder what happens to rats corpses, especially in Asia. You wouldn't have guessed. Rats transmit diseases, they carry parasites harmful to men. In this movie they do rats autopsies and show off body parts infested with parasites. Did you know, they even archive rats? I didn't like the tone of the movie. Rats where shown as "horror clowns" when in fact human beings are to blame as THE reason of heavy rat reproduction. We are the culprit because we throw out trash on the streets, carelessly. Food is found everywhere, that's the invitation for rats to join. If we had self-awareness of our actions, rats wouldn't populate this much. But of course, our conscience is clear.... Due to the movie horrifying rats and not human beings, I can only give 5 stars. Nevertheless, I learned a bit more about human-rats relationship. Okay-ish movie.
Great film
I really liked this new film by Morgan Spurlock. Personally I feel the whole horror-aspect (and the fact that some people seem to take offense to it)is a little overblown. For me the filmmakers created just the right amount of tension to tell a fascinating story about creatures that secretly live among us. They - the rats - are like us in many ways. Their way of living mirrors our own societies in many ways. And as we are told they will probably outlast us. Personally I saw the humans in this film as the bad guys. The film makes this pretty clear I think. All in all a very enjoyable film that will make me think twice about going out to diner.
Dark but enjoyable. It's a horror/documentary about rats, lighten up folks
This is an interesting and different documentary which self identifies as horror also. It's a fun twist on a documentary, and an interesting look at how people the rat problem in various places around the world. I realize some people are bothered by any loss of life, but rats have to die if we are to thrive. More rats have lived thanks to our cities and garbage than ever would have in the wild. They were a bit macabre about the topic, but I have trouble understanding why the people who left the one star reviews would even watch this horror/documentary which makes its intentions clear right from the intro. It's not a Disney movie with dancing and singing rats, its a realistic view of rats living among humans. Sometimes life isn't pretty. My only complaint about this video was that it wasn't longer. I wanted more. minor spoilers below One female rat can have up to 15,000 babies in a year. They carry many dangerous diseases which are transmittable to humans. If we stopped killing them they'd quickly consume our entire food supply. Rats can slither through holes the size of a quarter, tread water for 3 days, enter buildings through sewer pipes, jump vertically 4 feet. NYC alone is estimated to have at least 2 million rats, with some estimates being much higher. Rats have attacked homeless people, injured and killed infants in their cribs, attacked people on the subways. They overrun homes and factories and restaurants at night, they chew through wiring in cars and buildings. In 2013 a rat contraceptive was approved and is being used in cities around the world.
Trash
So, this just popped up on Netflix, I was pretty excited thinking this was the Rat film I had been waiting for by the same people who did Black Fish. If you haven't seen Black Fish please do! Now, this film was not the one I had been waiting for at all. Made by Discovery channel I thought it would still be insightful about the animal, instead it's a film glorifying the fear of an animal that already has a horrid reputation in the world. They made the rat into nothing short of a Hollywood monster that's the reason for all the bad in the world. It's plainly disgusting. A simple ploy to make more people afraid of the small mammal and seek out to kill more of them. Discovery channel has turned into nothing short of fear mongering bully.
