Overview

A poor writer discovers that a species of rats has banded together to impersonate humans and supplant them unnoticed, in a manner reminiscent of the transformations in Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros, or the covert conspiracy of pod-people in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This film's story is based on a book by the Soviet writer Alexander Grin.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A Soviet-inflected nightmare about invisible infiltration and social decay, where a writer's discovery of rats masquerading as humans spirals into dread about complicity and transformation. It's slow-burn body horror with a philosophical edge, watching society rot from within, one imposter at a time.
