What a delightfully bizarre film.
When reading the trivia on Amazon Prime attached to this I was amused and delighted to see that the director made his film, then was told it was too short at just 72 minutes. This led to the addition of the rats, adding 20 mins to the running time (and making what was already a strange viewing experience slightly stranger).
I'm not going to list the elements that weren't perfect, because that's not the point of this kind of film, instead I'll stick to what I enjoyed or found amusing:
The sisters Monica & Melanie (or whatever) are both very easy on the eye.
The shop owner who sells the rats, Mr Micawber, is simply brilliant. Like a cross between Igor the hunchback and Edward from The League Of Gentlemen.
I love how the poor unfortunate chained brother, when being taunted by Monica, stops his roaring when older sister intervenes to admonish the cruelty. Then resumes it once she's finished speaking.
Pop is a sly old dog, he soon changes his curmudgeonly manner towards the new husband. Now it suits him.
