I was watching this laying on my bed, surprisingly those rats didn't make me uncomfortable. Odd premise but it works. Bruce Davison did an excellent job potraying this socially awkward, sympathetic yet conflicted young man who often treated unfairly by people around him. He and his gang got the charm. The story is engaging. Mr. Martin is really an evil man I hate him so much. Solid revenge horror film.
