| You can tell what kind of movie you're in for just by looking at the tape itself. If the movie is about a year old and it still looks spanking new, even has that new tape smell (I love that smell by the way), then you know to avoid it at all costs, much like everyone else. Another sign is that if the person who rented it before you only watched 20 minutes of it, then returned it, un-rewound. The latter condition was how I found the tape for "Rodentz". It's probably best to see how goofy and oddly filmed and directed this movie is for yourself, but I will try my best to put it into words. Professor Irwin and his assistant Walter is searching for the cure for cancer in a lab in a abandoned building and they are using rats as test subjects. Walter dumps some green goo down the sink drain and it ends up in the building's basement where hordes of rats start drinking it, bathing in it, even making little rat ramen noodles with it. Pretty soon they become aggressive and they kill the professor's cat, Spunk. |
| Mr. Clean Version 2.0! |
| Before coming up with Turtles, Eastman and Laird came up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Rats. |
| The rats in the lab are also going crazy, including one named Brenda, who was injected with a goo that was slightly altered. This caused Brenda to bust out of her cage and become the size of, well, a guy in a rat costume. The rats then go after the janitor in the building, who's name is Ethyl, according to the name written on his flask. Meanwhile, Walter's friends and girlfriend are in a dead head van going to pick up Walter from work. The shots of Walter's friends and Walter walking around the lab last for about 30-45 minutes. The professor gets tired of yelling at Walter and decides to go home. But the professor finds Ethyl The Janitor dead and he too is eaten by the rats. The friends show up and poke around the lab when the slutty chick Chelsea finds Brenda's cage is empty and the bars are all bent out. Walter freaks out and asks his friends for help, then it turns into a Scooby Doo episode. |
| Someone must've poured cherry Kool-aid in the rats contact lens. |
| Time out! This is a squirrel! |
| "Eh, impressive, but my hole is MUCH bigger!" |
| Frank and Chelsea, who are dating, seem to have it out for either Gary or Burke, or both. The sub-plots this movie throws at us aren't explained too much in detail. But in any case, Frank and Chelsea go off and they get naked and want to have sex. But women, the killjoys they are, insist on the rubber choker that they call "Condoms" so they go to their van to get it on. Burke goes off on his own and is killed. Gary becomes a voyeur and wants to watch Chelsea and Frank get it on. Instead he watches Brenda, who is the size of a guy in a rat suit don't forget, chomp Chelsea. And what does Gary do when he watches her get chomped? He stands there screaming like a little school girl instead of running out to help her. |
| "I'd like to help but there's this big glass like thing in the way!!" |
| Wow, now she REALLY can give good head. |
| Walter and his girlfriend Alicia save Frank and Walter, in a scene that was probably cut for clarity, figures out everything and instead of just saying "Lets get in the van and get the hell away from this rat infested building" he says "We must stop them".
Stop them from what? Eating the building? The rats seemed well contained, I'm sure they would've just been happy inside the building just munching on any random bum or teenagers who wanted to make out. But that would've ended the movie too quickly, so instead these idiots have to fight them. Gary freaks out and locks himself in a room. Frank gets eaten and Walter and Alicia hide out in an elevator. Walter decides to set off the fire alarm to get the police to get there (First and only good idea this guy had in this movie) and when he does so, they discover the noise of the alarm makes the rats' head explode. So Walter arms himself with a speaker and a battery to blow their heads up and instead of leaving Gary in the room to be killed (God, I hated Gary), they bring him along AND THEN FINALLY decide to get the hell out of there. But they meet Brenda and, of course, the speaker doesn't work. But Gary gets chomped so it was all for the best. I actually cheered when this happened. Alicia decides to light the bitch (Brenda I mean) and she does so...but of course it doesn't help. I guess the movie was a few minutes short or something. So Walter and Alicia drive off in the deadhead van with Brenda The Giant Rat Who's Actually A Human In A Rat Suit on top of the van and they crash into a parked car, which must've belonged to a pyromaniac because the van and the car explode, along with the rat. But then a tarantula starts eating the goo. The end. HA-HA-HA!!! |
| Now we know what the rat from Beakman's World been up to. |
| "Hey! Can I get a ride to Woodstock?!" |

| What was so goofy about the editing and direction was for some reason, half of the dialogue is done in Voice Over fashion, as if they lost the audio after filming somehow. And there were maybe 3 or 4 actual rats in the movie, the rest were computer generated. Oh, and two rats were tied to strings and you can see the strings, rather clearly. And for some odd reason, the film maker thought it was cool to shoot traffic at night, and then speed the film up, because those shots just appeared for no reason at random parts of the movie. If they decide to go with the Tarantula sequel, it's gonna be interesting to see a Guy In A Tarantula Suit. |
| Wow! |
