Irina is a teacher in the middle of a messy divorce with her husband, Roberto, who has cunningly stolen the pharmaceutical company she was set to inherit. She's also dealing with a rat problem. A rat so large and terrible it has mutilated her dog. Enlisting the help of her new love interest and biologist friend, Axel, they soon discover that Roberto has been recklessly dumping nuclear waste to get ahead and wreaking havoc on the nearby wildlife. Now Irina has to contend with a mutated rat in her home and her soon-to-be ex who will do anything to keep his secret.
In one of his last horror films, director Rubén Galindo Jr. (DON'T PANIC, CEMETERY OF TERROR) delivers a vision of an apocalyptic near-future Mexico, where the environment has become a wasteland. Citizens can't go outside without a ventilator, acid rain alerts blast from the loud speakers and almost all wildlife is on the verge of extinction. Throwing science fiction, horror, action and melodrama into a genre blender, Vinegar Syndrome Active is proud to present THE DEMON RAT (aka Mutantes del año 2000, La rata maldita), newly scanned and restored in 2k and presented here in its worldwide Blu-ray debut.

"Got it free with VMSC points, which probably made it more enjoyable. Low budget sci fi thrills in it's original Spanish. Worth a double feature with Hell's Trap from a few years earlier (and from VS)"
"I got this little gem from the rewards program on the site, the standard edition. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm glad to get an exclusive like this."
"This one was a bit slow compared to other VSA titles but still plenty to like. Low budget horror movie and I loved the cheapo rat monster."
"Did not know what to expect with this. It didn't disappoint."
"My favorite things from Vinegar Syndrome lately have been their Mexploitation releases. This one does not disappoint and looks amazing next to all my other Galindo Jr. releases. Titles I never thought I would ever own are being cleaned up and given immaculate releases. I would kick myself if I passed these up."
"I cashed in my VS points and decided to grab this with my order. I probably will never watch again. It's something to throw on with a group of friends and laugh at it's quality. VS did a good job with the release but the movie was a stinker."
"I thought I missed out on this movie but glad I was able to snag it"
"nice movie"
"The demon rat is cool but it takes a long time getting there."
"Excellent movie"
