We are just mere days away from the second wave of titles to be announced from the 2016 Telluride Horror Show happening in Telluride, CO the weekend of October 14-16. You can read the first wave announcements here. One of the standout titles from the first wave announcement is the new horror documentary film, RATS.

Oscar® nominated director Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) brings you RATS, inspired by Robert Sullivan’s New York Times bestselling book. The film goes deep beneath the surface to explore the lives of man’s greatest parasite. Spurlock journeys around the world to bring viewers face to face with rats while delving into our complicated relationship with these creepy creatures. In ways never before captured on film, RATS dives deep into New York City’s parks, subway tunnels, and sewers; venture to rice paddies in Cambodia and Vietnam where rats are caught and sold as food, cross worldly streets in India paroled by the revered Night Rat Killers, journey to the English countryside where packs of terriers kill hundreds of rats per day, and look inside a New Orleans lab, where scientists are studying how abandoned neighborhoods are making rats more invasive than ever. A film as dark and disturbing as any horror movie, RATS is not for the weak of heart, or stomach, and Viewer Discretion is strongly advised..
