Episode 129 - Rats Off to Ya!

We can NOT stay out of the sewers, maybe it's because we spend so much time in the dark and stanky confines of the cave. This time we're hunting rats...or are THEY hunting US!?!?!?!  We start off with 1982's Deadly Eyes from Mr. Gymkata, Robert Clouse. This is a solid thriller about a city being overrun by large rats ( that are actually dachshunds in costumes ) and it still packs lots of fun. We follow that up with 1983's Of Unknown Origin, starring Peter Weller and directed by show-favorite George P. Cosmatos.  This is another good one, though this time it's a one-on-one battle in a brownstone. Lots of great scares if you can forgive the fact that the rat is smarter than Willard's pal Socrates.
