Deadly Eyes

Rats: Night Of Terror was at #40 on the list, and here we have the Citizen Kane of 80′s killer vermin films. Ordinary sewer rats grow to grotesque size when they eat grain contaminated with steroids. How over the top is Deadly Eyes? The first victim eaten by the rats is … a baby in a highchair. We also get a nihilistic ending, and in one of my favorite 80′s movie anecdotes, the rats are actually … dachshunds wearing rat costumes. Here’s a highlight. Woof!
