Ask anyone who caught it bringing the house down at the 2024 Knoxville Horror Film Fest: RATS! is one of the strangest, crowd-pleasingest comedies of the decade, and a guaranteed cult classic in the making. We’re thrilled to be bringing it back to Central Cinema for its official theatrical run, and cannot overstate how important it is to see it with a crowd… bring your friends!

It’s 2007 in Pfresno, Texas. Raphael is in county jail following an arrest for graffiti. He’s a good kid. It’s just graffiti. So you can’t blame Raphael for the events that unfold after his arrest. He’s not responsible for the sting operation, the suicide, Flophouse’s new mix-tape, Officer Williams and her delusional suspicions, the meth pipes, the FBI, the rich kids with nothing to lose, Mateo, Larry the pig, all the knives, the local aspiring TV newswoman, the plutonium deal gone wrong, or anyone who may or may not die due to that deal turning sour. None of it is Raphael’s fault, but it is his problem.

“Simply put, this is one of the craziest, funniest films audiences will see anywhere this year.” – Moviemaker Magazine
