This article about the best rodent horror movies is part of our ongoing series <strong>31 Days of Horror Lists<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>We deserve the rats. We pretend to be scared of these beady-eyed little furballs, but deep down we know our bowels would make better nests for them than the heaps of fast food garbage we stuff down there daily. If these ten films prove anything, it\u2019s that rodents understand their purpose on this planet better than any dumb, deluded human.

And by rats, I really mean Dachshunds that were dressed up as rats because the movie couldn\u2019t afford any special effects. But they look the part and their reign of terror is a joy to behold. <em>Deadly Eyes<\/em> also scores points for having the rats eat a toddler for supper, which is a scene I don\u2019t recommend watching if you like kids.

Perhaps, this Miracle Grow \u201cfood\u201d that bubbles up from the soil comes straight from hell\u2019s kitchen instead. <em>The Food of the Gods<\/em> is barely based on the H.G. Wells novel <em>The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth<\/em>. It takes the tiniest thought from the book and chooses to attach itself to a film more <em>Them<\/em> than <em>Jaws<\/em> (the obvious, actual inspiration for the adaptation).<\/p>\n<p>We get all kinds of giant creatures in this movie \u2014 wasps, slugs, etc. \u2014 but it\u2019s the rats who are the stars. These ridiculous rodents tear their way through numerous extras, day players, and supporting cast members before coming face-to-face with Morgan (Marjoe Gortner). The football titan uses his brains, blows up a nearby dam, and drowns the fat beasties. <em>The Food of the Gods<\/em> has the last laugh, however, when it reveals the true threat not to be the rodents, but the juicy cows who produce milk for all the school children across the land. Drink up, kiddies, it\u2019s time for your rodent horror smoothie. (Brad Gullickson)<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ben_1972\"><\/span>7.

Loneliness is a powerful sensation felt by everyone on the planet at one time or another. When you find yourself at the lowest depths of the experience, it\u2019s easy to imagine a cute little critter supplying your hurt with endless, unconditional love. It\u2019s even easier to imagine that cute little critter turning on your enemies, feasting on those jerkwads who refused to acknowledge your beauty and importance.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ben<\/em> is <em>Willard<\/em>, more of the same, but since loneliness is an impossible disease to cure, its effect is nearly as powerful as the original film. Although, while the rodents are kind of allowed to win in <em>Willard<\/em>, they meet a gruesome and fiery death here. That is until the remake rears its magnificent ratty head.

As a kid, though, the premise of <em>The Witches<\/em> was admittedly terrifying and a fine example of rodent horror.<\/p>\n<p>The cult classic film by <strong>Nicholas Roeg<\/strong> is based on a children\u2019s book by Roald Dahl and features the production stylings of Jim Henson, so it\u2019s basically got the all-star team of dark children\u2019s fantasy-makers going for it. In classic Dahl fashion, there are tons of nightmare-fuel elements at play here, from the titular witches\u2019 hideous true faces to the diabetes-related emergency that drives the plot. And though the main mice-kids in <em>The Witches<\/em>, Luke (Jasen Fisher) and Bruno (Charlie Potter), are adorable, the climactic sequence that sees the witches panic as they\u2019re unwillingly transformed into mice is downright disturbing.
