The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Of Unknown Origin (1983)

Starring: Peter Weller
Director: George P. Cosmatos

Premise:
A man finds a large rat in his New York Townhouse and tries to exterminate it himself

My Take:
Kind of like Jaws, but with a rodent. I loathe rats, but rarely got uncomfortable watching the movie.
Still it's not a bad movie. Peter Weller is rather awesome as he becomes more and more obsessed with killing this huge rat.

Rating: In the middle
