Yesterday marked the deadline for Indiegogo donations to Mark Logan’s short film Rats, and since the funding goal was not only reached but exceeded, filming will begin this week on the creature feature. We’ve got all the information on this one for you today, so read on!
Rats is a short film in the vein of the classic Amicus films like Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors and Tales from the Crypt, but with a distinctly modern twist. It features an incredibly atmospheric location, an amazing cast – including Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser) and Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede 2) – and a scary new creature.
In the short, Bill is a middle-aged lecturer and antiquarian book specialist who arrives at Montague Castle to catalog the library’s more interesting volumes. But Bill has other things on his mind for his time away from his young family. He intends to spend a night of passion with Jess, one of his undergraduates.
What better way to impress a girl than to have a night alone with the run of a castle? Only they aren’t quite alone. There are scratching noises from the room next door and the sense that someone, or something, is watching. By the end of this night, Bill will learn that all actions have consequences, especially within these ancient walls.
Terrible, terrifying consequences…
