A rebellious woman named Kayla and her estranged father travel together to his former home in the village of Ditchfield. The place has a history of violence, and Kayla’s father is tied to it somehow. As the mysterious Rat-Man unleashes swarms of killer rodents, Kayla will have to uncover her father’s connections to the violence if she hopes to survive.
Rise of the Rats is a micro-budget horror movie from director Stephen Roach and writer Robert Howgate. Grace Gallagher, Adrian Annis and Mark Collier star.
The trailer for Rise of the Rats was recently released, and I liked most of it. The rats themselves have a very genAI look, but there do appear to be many practical gore and creature effects.
Rise of the Rats currently doesn’t have a release date. It’s one of eight films Black Mandala is taking to the American Film Market happening now, so chances are we’ll hear about a release date sometime in the coming months.
