filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Nigel P It is good going into these films 'blind' if at all possible. It's a risk, of course - sometimes you are met with something distinctly not to your tastes; other times you are met with fascinating gems like this. Mulberry Street in Lower Manhattan is in the grip of developers determined to tear down the ghettos, destroy the urban communities and make everything clean and new. The squalidity is expertly conveyed, with Director Jim Mickle (also well known for 2010's 'Stake Land') teasing out details of rubbish-strewn walkways, cramped and flaking run-down apartment blocks and most pertinent of all, angry mutant rats. So angry at the developments to their homes, in fact, that they begin to infect the locals, creating a race, not of zombies, but of rat-faced killers.It is an unglamorous setting, but there are moments laced with humour. A scrawled 'F*** you' on the bottom of a tenancy agreement pinned to a reception wall; the first infected local is discussed in a bar: "I'd be more concerned for the guy who bit him." This adds a warmth and humour that really sells the idea of this close community, and therefore we care about what happens to them.Casey (Kim Blair) is out on the streets when things become nasty. Kay is a pretty blond woman, resourceful and real, as unlike a screaming bimbo as it is likely to be. She's played by Bo Corre, possibly best-known for her role as Ingrid in short-lived BBC soap 'Eldorado.' Strong, shy Clutch (Nick Damici) is the object of her affection, with Coco (Ron Brice) a jealous rival for his attention. A heady, likeable bunch, and all firmly established by the time the mass infection takes effect. Like impossibly fast-moving Nosferatu-types, these creatures' stuttering attacks are very much in the style of those from '28 Days Later (2002)' and every bit as effective.Gloomy, cruel and hard-hitting: I loved every minute of this.

adi_2002 In this film we follow a group of residents of a neighborhood from New York. One of them is bitten by a creature who resembles with a mutilated rat and soon the infection spreads and many habitants becomes like zombies and are trying to eat the one who are healthy,My expectation were very slim for this movie but after all it wasn't bad not good but mediocre. The camera work at some points was truly awful and dizzy. The acting was unusual for a bunch of unknown actors, I wonder if some of them really are actors after all. The scary scenes are few are easy to digest, also boring at some point but with that low budget they made the maximum that it could be. So my conclusion is that the film is amateurish at all chapters.

bababear I'd been curious about this because when I was small I read TO THINK THAT I SAW IT ON MULBERRY STREET, and so it had my attention from the get-go based on that.The template is, of course, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and, before that THE BIRDS. A group of people is trapped together while under attack from external forces.The thing is, this is a very interesting group of people played by excellent but unknown actors. This is actually a benefit: if big stars were cast, you'd have a pretty good idea what the life expectancy of various characters was.The main character is Clutch, a former boxer. He lives on Mulberry Street in New York City- and this is actually New York City, not Toronto- in a neighborhood that is undergoing massive change. Real estate developers are chasing off the locals (i.e. poor people and/or minorities) to put up luxury buildings. But what they can't get rid of is the rats. In the heat of summer they are thriving, and they become bolder and begin attacking people. When people are bitten they become monsters and attack other people, thus spreading the disease more and more quickly.Clutch's daughter, Casey, is coming home bearing the scars of war in the Persian Gulf. She gets to Manhattan, but when the subway trains stop running due to the epidemic she has to make her way to Lower Manhattan to find her father and his friends.I can't believe this movie was made on such a small budget. Wow. If there were any justice the people who worked on this movie- the actors didn't get paid, most were friends and relatives of the director and writer- would all be millionaires.

Heavy_Petting_Zoo I've never watched a Zombie movie I didn't enjoy to some degree. That all changed last week when I watched Mulberry Street. I kept wanting to turn it off because the whole "Rat Zombie" thing was really stupid, but I kept watching, not wanting to admit to myself I just wasted 15 bucks. Bad acting and a painfully slow and sloppy plot ruined it. I think they tried way too hard to make the film artsy and give it an indy vibe, but instead it came across as very amateurish. The idea of a disease being spread via rats is a nice, historically accurate addition to the zombie sub genre, but the victims turning into rats? How stupid is that? I did have a few ideas for a sequel, though: the disease is spread by kittens and victims transform into big, cuddly kittens that like to play and frolic instead of eating human flesh. Or maybe the disease is spread via the Olsen twins and everyone becomes anorexic cocaine addicts that still eat human flesh but then promptly vomit it back up so their re-animated asses don't get fat.
