Valley of the Rats

About This Movie

So, 'Valley of the Rats' dives into this gritty, urban landscape that feels almost claustrophobic. The pacing is deliberately slow, giving you time to stew in the protagonist's paranoia and desperation. His odyssey through the city, mostly from the backseat of a rented limo, creates this unique dynamic—the conversations reveal more about societal hierarchies than they do about the murder case itself. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the film doesn't shy away from exploring darker themes, using practical effects to ground the horror elements. Performances are solid, with a palpable sense of urgency. It's distinctive in how it blends crime drama with horror, and that blend is what really stuck with me.
