The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here!

...and the toilet is overflowing! Oh! Lord! This film is crap! There is, however a way to make this film enjoyable: Turn off the sound and read a book, That bad...

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** This "film" was probably the worst piece of garbage I ever wasted video rental money on. I saw it many years ago, and it still leaves a foul taste whenever I think about it. I could barely get through this swill. Someone else referred to this as "cinematic feces" and I agree wholeheartedly. The close-up sequence involving the mouse clinched it for me that Milligan was one sick b*****d who should have been arrested for animal cruelty. There is nothing whatsoever worthwhile or redeeming about this pile of junk. What a waste of film stock. I couldn't believe there could actually be something worse than BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS, but here it is, folks. When I want a film that's "so bad it's good", I'll haul out something by Ed Wood or Larry Buchanan.

In continuing to review werewolf movies in chronological order, I'm now at 1972 and this: a movie written, photographed, directed, and featured in two roles by one Andy Milligan. There are both rats and werewolves, all right, but it's mostly a dysfunctional family drama between siblings and the elderly father in charge of them all. Like I said, Milligan plays two roles: one who sells rats to one sister Monica, and another who sells a gun to other sister Diana. Dialogue is mostly exposition that one wouldn't keep saying in real life and it's constantly said quickly most of the time except for those two scenes involving Milligan. He's not a good director or writer but I'll say this about him-I was never bored, that's for sure! So on that note, give The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! a chance if you're curious enough...

After watching Bloodthirsty Butchers I was afraid to watch this one, not for the horror but being horrified that it is another turkey. luckely it was better but still worse, the acting is better but still, yes you can guess it. Again there is a lot of talking in this flick and what the hell the rats are doing was not clear until I did my research. The movie was too short and the producer wanted some extra scene's, and that became the rat man with his, euh, rats. Nothing to do with the movie so you know it, the whole movie is a turkey. It's only in the last 10 minutes that the werewolfs arrive. Or is it carnival, man the make up is so stupid.It's all predictable what is going to happen, so no fear at all, no suspense and still Andy Milligan (the director) has his following, and still sells DVD's, this flick is a bit hard to catch and as always not that cheap.
