A surprising amount of sex was squeezed into a plot about giant mutant rats eating people alive, but that’s classic horror for you. Loved the sort of short stories weaved into the overarching plot.

Yeah there’s nasty, infectious rats but I genuinely preferred them to the main character, the view on women is just appalling and I can’t stand when people say it was different then. Okay doesn’t mean it didn’t make you an a**hole.
1 star solely for the cool mutant rat at the end.
Graphic: Misogyny
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Animal death

It did exactly what it described, a fun little horror to gross you out. I didn't realise this was written in the 70s before I started reading it, but it then became very apparent with its casual racism and sexism. Its just very of its time. I didn't particularly like any of the characters, but I didn't feel the need to for it to get the job done of grossing you out.
A decent time but not one that will stay with me
