Frightening & Intense Scenes

mild

Almost all of the movie is disturbing and intense, showcasing that the rat may show up anywhere at anytime. Additionally, we are treated to sevreral gross and stomach-churning closeups of the rat itself. Many viewers will undoubtedly be disturbed by a scene when Peter Weller looks at several real pictures of rat-bite victims, as well a graphic film where rat eat and kill each other as well as their young. There's also about 2 or 3 jump scares, the first of which is quite unexpected.
