A movie to sink your teeth into -too obvious? Fang has bite and if you’ve ben a follower for a while you know that I have nightmares about rats on occasion (thanks James Herbert). So, will this induce nightmares? I guess I’ll find out later tonight.
**Warning: there may be spoilers ahead**
Starring Hilary Schwartz (Game Shakers, The Convergence), Richard Burgin (Focused on Forward, Scene Snob Interviews), Nik Macik (Egg Belly, Indie Rockstar), Pete Berwick (Devil’s Island, America’s Got Talent), Jess Paul (Brew House, A Funny Man), Tom White (Seeds of Change, Common Gulls), Lynn Lowry (Model Hunger, A Grim Becoming), and Dylan LaRay (Evil Lives Here, Groomsday).
One night, Billy gets an unexpected visitor: a rat that springs out of his bathroom and bites him. At first, everything seems okay. Billy comes home, drowsy from the tetanus shot, and bonds with Gina’s lovely new caregiver Myra (Jess Paul). Then the rat fur appears. It grows out of Billy’s skin, then goes away like it was never there. The more Billy looks in the mirror and scratches, the more he’s forced to face the unthinkable: he might be turning into a rat. Billy is plunged into a waking nightmare where he slowly discovers the truth about himself as he unleashes the ferocious depths of the human and rodent soul.

Fang Review Conclusion
I’d take another bite: You spend most of this film feeling bad for the characters, especially Billy, who just seems to get more and more bad stuff coming his way. And that rat bite (amazing sfx) just keeps getting grosser and grosser. With plenty of uncomfortable moments this movie doesn’t let you go, whilst one character seems to be getting better the other is getting worse. And there was definitely a turn away in ew! late on in the film. The Rat King is probably going to show up in my nightmares. I’ll let you know.
