Pretty awesome movie. It's more of a character study than just a simple man vs rat movie. Peter Weller is great in it, and it's impressive watching him go slowly mad, as he sheds his reliance on material gains in his hunt for this disgusting vermin.

Peter Weller is good. He and the supporting performances make it better than average. Dialogue is good. The movie feels silly sometimes but I don't think this movie takes itself serious anyway. Good for what it is. Worth a peek but don't expect much.

A true cast of characters and character actors perfectly fit for a horror film. Witness the downward maddening spiral of man vs. vermin in an all out war

_**The Rat from Hell**_

A Manhattan executive (Peter Weller) deals with the rats on Wall Street while defending his brownstone ‘castle’ against a literal vermin. Jennifer Dale plays his secretary while Lawrence Dane and Kenneth Welsh are on hand as colleagues.
