Blu-ray Review – The Demon Rat

1992's "The Demon Rat" is a low-budget offering of future world horrors, with the star of the show a mutated beast that's out to feast on human prey. However, there's a little more to the production, as co-writer/director Ruben Galindo Jr. is also very concerned about the state of the planet, working in a message on ecological ruin while managing bloodier events highlighting monster movement. It's refreshing to see a B-movie try to bum out its audience with reminders of planetary collapse, and while "The Demon Rat" isn't successful landing the severity of the atmospheric situation, it wins points for trying, with Galindo Jr. better off exploring the state of a polluted nation than trying to mount a creature feature with little monetary support.
