A growth hormone experiment gets out of hand, when the the resulting giant man-eating rats escape, reaking havoc on the unsuspecting campus. Much blood-letting follows.
Filmed on location at my alma mater, York U, this is a ludicrous yet perpetually entertaining example of the “small animal/insect gets big and therefore must consume humans” genre. Growth-hormone enhanced, flesh-chomping rodents are, however, but a slim slice of this delightful cinematic pie. It also features an absorbing storyline (involving serious philosophical and socio-political issues), enjoyably inconsistent “special” (very special) effects, some truly fabulous fantasy sequences and one unbelievably audacious scene of gratuitous violence (this involving synchronized swimmers and gunfire).
To those with a penchant for the ridiculous: only you can prevent GNAW! from becoming a neglected footnote in the index of some seldom-consulted guide to vengeful animal flicks.
