Few creatures on this Earth conjure as much of a reaction as rats. Knowing this full well, Morgan Spurlock is here to creep you out with a new documentary all about the rodents. First premiering at Toronto International Film Festival (fittingly in the Midnight Madness sidebar), then having a one-night screening later this week, followed by a Discovery Channel premiere in late October, the first trailer has now arrived.
THR said in their review, “Prepare for some heebie-jeebies, o ye who would watch Morgan Spurlock’s Rats, a skin-crawling hour and a half about the vermin who share our cities and live on our trash: The documentarian who flirted with body-horror in Super Size Megoes full-tilt here, offering shock-cut inserts and skittery sound effects in a film that already has little trouble keeping viewers on edge.”
Check out the unnerving first trailer below, along with the TIFF Q&A and a poster.
Rats premiered at TIFF, hits theaters on September 23, and then arrives on Discovery Channel on October 22.
