new york city have a rat problem it seem . the little furry pest be crawl all over the place and you good hope they do not bite a chunk out of you because and when that happen and you start grow hair out of strange place and want to eat human flesh . mulberry street be an apocalypse movie which take 28 day later and filter it through a post 9 11 new york . it begin at a rundown tenement building on the titular street where we be introduce to several of those who live there include clutch and a retired boxer and a bartender name kay ( live with her teenage son ) and coco who be clutch best friend . meanwhile and clutch daughter casey arrive in new york city after serve in the middle east and begin make her way home . unfortunately and there have be several report of rat bite human and a nasty virus spread through the city and people suddenly turn on one another . this result in the subway be shut down and casey be force to make her way home on foot . be all these event connect . you bet . mulberry street begin slowly with the horror keep in the background . a feeling of dread infects the first third of the movie while dark figure shamble around alleyways a the character walk past and a man sit silently in kay bar sweating and act strangely and rat scurry around nearby gutter and television begin report strange event . i actually quite liked this it be nice to watch a horror movie where the character be develop and allow the audience to get to know them before the city fell into hell . there aren not any stereotype either which make a nice change . the character in this movie probably do exist somewhere in manhattan while enable you to care about whether they will survive or not . the movie be make for a very low budget and feature a lot of shaky cam and which be obviously use to hide some of the effect ( although they be and in my opinion and pretty good the rat people be appropriately gruesome and deform ) but it doesn not hurt the film . in addition and the visuals have a dark and very dirty look to them . for a movie which revolve around rat and this add to the atmosphere and make it appear more gritty and realistic . i really enjoy mulberry street . the acting be great all round and the storyline be interesting and it be nice to see a movie of this type that do not use zombie for once . the squealing noise make by the rat people a they flood through corridor and street be suitably disturb . if you enjoy 28 day later or be a horror fan in general then you should certainly check out mulberry street . jim mickel be definitely a director to watch out for in the future . if he can produce something this entertain with such a low budget and who know what he will be capable of with more money .
