Alunauwie8/10

The Rat Catcher, the third film in Roald Dahl’s anthology, uses narration and minimal visuals to create a unique storytelling experience that encourages viewers to imagine key scenes. The simple yet unpredictable plot follows a rat catcher facing a challenge when his poisoned bait fails, prompting him to perform bizarre acts to save his reputation. While the conflict is subtle, the film’s clever twist invites audiences to reconsider earlier scenes with new insight. Strong acting, effective CGI, and well-chosen sound design enhance the dramatic atmosphere. Overall, it’s a captivating and original short film worth watching.
