DEADLY EYES

DEADLY EYES-

Just like "Ratatouille" this movie is about rats who like to eat...except these rats are the size of a raccoon and they eat people! This wonderful made for Drive-In movie looks like something out of the late '70's but it was made in 1982. It's a simple story about after some radiation or strange chemical leak in the city's sewers, hundreds of rats turned into giant flesh eating monsters! Living in the sewers system, they have access to every house in the city, and with the new subway system is about to open, people's lives are in danger!

A bunch of no names are featured in this movie, as matter of fact, I don't recall any special effects either...the rats are shot in a set with smaller furniture to make them look bigger, there weren't a lot of interaction with the victims and the killer rats. Even the scene where the little toddler was sitting in her high chair, while her baby sitter is in the livingroom getting high with her friends; you only see the rats tugging on the end of the baby's night gown then the next shot you see is the baby in the high chair toppling off to the side of the screen, later after the sitter is done with her orgy she finds a bloody bib on the kitchen floor!

This movie brings a lot of joy to me as I watch people run for their lives screaming while cutting to close-ups of rats to make them look larger. This movie has a suprise ending as well, so stick to the end to catch it!
