I liked the part with the rats.
A bunch of lab rats are exposed to Glowing Green Chemicals and become evil killers. That's the entirety of the plot. Aside from the humour value I got out of the killer rats and all the dialogue concerning them, this movie was objectively ratshit.
The characters were all boring, barely having personalities at all, but at least their dialogue made it instantly clear they were all unlikeable people. The only one worth mentioning was Gary, who immediately gave up all hope at the first hint of danger and started barricading his friends in with the rats, later saying to himself "I tried my best" as though he didn't throw them under the bus without hesitation.
One couple predictably decided to ditch the others and make out, but all that involved was the guy kissing her stomach awkwardly for a while as a bizarre techno soundtrack blared. They then moved into the next room to do almost exactly the same thing a second time for some reason. Rats didn't even attack them during all this, so it served no purpose besides a brief glimpse of body double nipples.
A lot of this movie was just these weirdos arguing with each other and talking about finding a missing rat. When the rats were actually around they were a mix of real rats looking vaguely uninterested, CGI rats looking menacing, and fake rats being held by the actors or pinned to their clothing as people were being killed.
The pièce de résistance was when a giant rat, presumably the one that makes all of the rules, showed up to tear people's arms off and eat their faces. It was very clearly a person wearing a human sized rat suit, and the camera lingered hilariously long on it casually ambling along on two legs.
All the camerawork was messy. Slow scenes had excessively strange angles, there was a composite effect of a rat growing bigger that has to be seen to be believed, and the attack segments were edited so rapidly you couldn't possibly make out what was happening.
An objectively terrible movie that I couldn't help but love.
