RAT SCRATCH FEVER starts off with a disastrous mission to the mysterious Planet X, where gigantic rats run rampant! When the spaceship returns to Earth, there's only one survivor. The ship also contains rats. Lots of them!
Upon her rescue, the surviving Sonja (Tasha Tacosa) goes on a bloody rampage, having turned into some sort of rodent-driven vampire!
Enter the diabolical Dr. Christopher Steele (Randall Malone), who has a definite Dr. Phibes thing going on. He's also sporting an awesome pair of mechanical hands! This brings us to the rat-a-strophic finale, featuring Steele's ultimate killing machine!
Is this movie irredeemably absurd? Yes, please! It's also made entirely of rat-approved cheddar, making for a tasty treat! Instead of the usual, terrible CGI, we get 100% real rats with red, glowing eyes! There's even a bit of -be still my heart!- stop-motion! Annnd, the vehicles and exterior sets are miniatures!
Cheap? Oh yes! Gloriously so!
Outrageous, ridiculous, and more fun than a barrel full of rat traps, this movie is the rat's pajamas! Wha...? You're still here? Go watch this mouse-terpiece right now!...
Co-stars Phoebe Dollar in another of her crazy, a$$kicking roles!...
