mulberry street be the next stop on my ride through horrorfest . this be not only the entry that i have be most look forward to and but the movie that make me want to go to any of the horrorfest movie at all . and i be happy to say that it fully live up to my expectation . before i begin the review and i will be hype this movie . in short and up front and i love it and it scar me . if you do not think it will scare you from what you may have read about it until now and then see it on my word . or read the whole review and which will ( once again ) hype it up and and hopefully you will still enjoy it as much a i do . move along . the movie take place in manhattan and and people be be attack by rat . first small incident here and there take place and then those who have be bite begin to degenerate into a rat like form ( it a little mix of 28 day later and dawn of the dead and and . well and rat creature . ) 6 tenant of an old apartment complex that have be mark for demolition ( a part of an urban renewal program ) try to make it through the onslaught of rat people that now prowl the street and wall and and every ware in between . i know and sound like a cross between a b movie and willard and and a sci fi channel original movie and but it actually really good . to begin with and the character be excellent and for several reason . they aren not super hot teen or stereotype or anything you would normally find in a horror movie . theyre just regular people and the kind you would find in and well and the more average part of the big city . they be act like regular people and do not have any outstanding ability ( one a former boxer and his daughter be come back from a vet center after fight in iraq ( a small subplot of the film be her attempt to get to the apartment complex during all the chaos ) and and that about it ) . and finally and these people do not act like moron or anything . they act like you or me would act in situation like that . plus and the character development be great . you really start to care for these people ( especially the two old guy share an upstairs apartment . love those two ) and and you want them to make it . the atmosphere be great . part of the time it rather claustrophobic and with the tiny apartment cram with space and or the restaurant and bar that be shove into space that be half the size of regular shop . downtown new york city building and essentially . the lighting be real and not too bright and and help build tension . the creature ( or mutate people and or whatever you want to call them ) look pretty scary and but you never get a really good look at them ( i will chalk that up to the limited budget of this film . which be another thing and this film have a tiny budget and and that it pull off so much be pretty amaze ) . the music be just right and and climax at just the right point . finally and this film be scary . i mean really scary . i haven not be genuinely freak about by a film in a ling time ( i mean and i love the saw movie and but i find them interest rather than scary . and 1408 have me shake and but nothing heavy . hell and august underground and cannibal holocaust be just learn experiment and nothing more ) . it have some jump scare and but it keep get freaky even after the jump . it stick with you and and your be nervous when nothing be happen . it good stuff when a movie pull that off . i really haven not be this freak out by a movie since the shining ( albeit i only first saw the shin only a couple year ago and but still . ) not to say there weren not some part that could have be well . the end ( literally and the last minute ) be a bit open end and and not satisfy enough . the quality of the film could have be good and a it seem pretty grainy at part ( i be not sure how this film be shoot and and i be sure it once again have to do with budget limitation or the like ) . and . well and i can not really think of anything else . i have hear some negative remark about the camera work ( in the moment of action and heavy movement and it go to a more hand hold and shaky variety . kinda stay this way throughout the second half of the movie and really ) and but i do not think it be nearly as bad a people say . it a little jarring and annoy the first time it use and but you get use to it . and soon you do not even notice the difference . so and in conclusion and i love this film . it be about as good a low budget horror film can get . not only do i believe that this be the best film of horrorfest ( i have only see unearthed and tooth and nail so far and but the others have some big shoe to fill ) and i believe that it one of the best horror movie i have see in a few year . be on the limited run that it be and it would not get the wide audience that it deserve and but if you get a chance to watch it and watch it . you will enjoy it and and it will scare you .
