Description: WARNING: This film has numerous scenes of rats crawling everywhere, which may be triggering for those who have musophobia. This bizarre educational film "Rat Attack" vividly shows the effects of a rodent infestation, and describes how an infestation is caused, as well as delving into the history of rats and humans. It also offers solutions for how to keep rats out of your home or apartment. The film was made by Ucom Educational Inc., which specialized in films for schools and industrial and medical training programs. The film starts with rats crawling on the floor of a man’s bedroom at 0:50. Then, it jump cuts (our print has damage) to police cars, and the man who says "there’s rats in here!" then, shows a fire in the man’s apartment -- apparently caused by something the man did to try to kill the rats. The man is seen being carted into an ambulance at 1:47. Police investigate the incident and the neighbors are seen talking about it at 2:05. An old man is then shown who appears to be the narrator of the film at 2:03. The man says "rats kill more people than all the wars in history" at 2:41. A man is shown being bitten by a rat and blood drips from his finger at 3:03. This scene may be graphic for viewers. A rat is filmed eating leftovers of a sandwich at 3:42. At 4:09 a rat is shown drinking water. A broken glass window is shown and the narrator says buildings with holes and openings give rats a nice warm place to live and have babies at 4:32. The narrator then says "rats have 12 babies every 8 weeks" at 4:42. Rat droppings are shown at 5:07. Rat teeth inside a live rat are shown at 5:30. Rat tracks are shown at 5:44. A rat eating poison is shown at 6:08. A rat corpse is shown at 6:15. A man setting a rat trap is shown at 7:37. The film shows a rat being snared by the trap at 7:51– graphic. A rat is shown eating another rat at 9:23– extremely graphic. The film ends shortly after. A UCOM Presentation.
