Synopsis: After his wife and son go away for a week, Bart Hughes is tormented by a rat of unusual size, that has decided to make his home it's territory. As the days go on, this rat proves to be much more cunning than Bart had expected as he tries to be rid of it.

A horror/thriller directed by George P. Cosmatos, for a movie about a rat this was pretty damn good. Unlike the usual fare when it comes to 'monster' rats, this one is portrays the thing as just larger (and smarter) than the average rat.

An intense thriller, this thing kept me glued to the screen, even has a few good scares. With no body count to rely on, the movie instead follows Bart descend into obsession over the clever animal.
