therein lay the main problem i have with this movie even a a kid . this movie have promise and but turn into mainly a giant rat movie with bert i. gordon main technique the old rear projection monster . i like his empire of the ant because it combine that trick with big model ant and but this one be mostly rear project rat . i like the wasp and there be a centipede and a giant chicken too and but after the wasp be destroy there be nothing else but the stupid rat . so basically this one start out interestingly enough and but degrades to something like another of gordon film the beginning of the end . how they destroy the rat be a bit stupid too and a doesn not gordon know what a rat do on a sinking ship . so this one be one that have promise and but fail to deliver . it use to come on television all the time and but you rarely see it these day and see how low it score be here and that be probably a good thing .
