Plot: One of countless Stephen King adaptations, this take on one of the author's {~Night Shift} tales is set in a Maine textile mill whose overbearing manager (Stephen Macht) finds himself in a tight spot when county inspectors crack down on his less-than-safe operation after a fatal accident involving a picking machine. He rounds up a few financially-desperate locals -- including drifter David Anderson, the film's nominal hero -- into a rag-tag crew to clean up the nightmarish, rat-infested lower levels of the decrepit building. Working their way through the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the mill, the crew encounters a rat's nest far beyond what their foreman had imagined, with a gigantic, man-eating monster rodent nesting at its center. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

Not for those scared of rodents...
Added 9/14/2009

Like many of King's stories, this one plays on a primal fear. This one happens to be rodents and, to an extent, bats. If rodents scare you, wait until you get a load of the Queen! I first caught this movie in a Stephen King marathon on some TV channel and was hooked ever since. For those who don't like it... Well, there's no accounting for bad taste...

Filme completa o livro

Já tinha lido o livro. o filme ajuda a compreender melhor a ambientação.
No final dos créditos há uma nota dizendo que nenhum animal foi mal-tratado ou machucado na realização do filme, é tão bem feita as cenas com ratos que fica difícil imaginar como foi complexa as tomadas.
Coitados dos atores. Tem uma cena com David Andrews , em que ele está caído no chão e os ratos estão envolta de sua cabeça, acho que os gritos foram reais.
Só o magistral escritor para colocar o gerente dirigindo um carro que é uma mistura de Batmovel com carro fúnebre.

This is not a review--- just thought I'd tell everyone about my first week on what they call "overnights" nowadays. It's not bad, just...different. As a manager, I get a lot less B.S. at night, all there is to do is get the freight out for the next day. Keep pushin' the crew, get the back room empty, drink 14 Red Bulls.... yeah, it's a party. And I bet some of my Amazon bros know what I'm talkin' about. Supposedly I'm back on days in Feb, so we'll see what's left of me by then.

So bad, it's hillarious
Added 6/25/2008

There have been many films made that are scary and are based on Stephen King novels/short stories.

This is not one of them.

This movie is really, really badly made. Yes, the story concerns rats, a giant basement, workers....

the short story was OK...but, this film....No

The acting, the "special effects", the constant sweating of the main character (ha ha)....too much to mention

The only thing that would make this movie watchable is if the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 crew could come back... This is one of those types of movies. ....

I made my own jokes throughout this movie, but I am not as funny of a writer as the MST3K folks.

Anyways, this movie proves that bad B movies werent just made in the 50s-80's....the 90's chalked up some MST3K-worthy stuff all it's own

If you want to see a Stephen King adaptation that is scary....get something else. Plenty of others to pick from. Allright then.

um, truly something that is beyond pathetic
Added 4/23/2008

wow so this drifter picks up a job, and these truly disgraceful actors in a town no one cares about, interact with the dude that is working the deadend shift, and there is this big rat monster, and no one really cares what happens, because nothing does happen, and its awful, oh no, its so, so awful, it is so so horribly bad, WHY? because it doesn't take you anywhere, it is not scary at all, the cover of the DVD has nothing even remotely to do with the film, the acting is some of the worst on record, and any attempt by any of the elitist to tell you its full of cinematic grandeur, need to get their head examined.

Truly a 0.5 star. HORRIFIC.
