Have you ever stayed up late at night wondering what would happen if somehow the early 70s B movies, "Ben" (Willard) and "Night of the Lepus", could be massed together to make one movie? ....what....you haven't?
You say that you have never heard of either of those movies? Okay.....well that doesn't matter, because director Jeff Leroy has seen them both, and has already mashed them together to create his upcoming cinematic masterpiece, "Rat Scratch Fever."
Okay, maybe I went too far by saying 'cinematic masterpiece?'
Lets just say that if you love movies with real size rodents running through miniature sets then "Fever" is your type of cheese.
It's your typical deep space exploration tale gone wrong. A group of Astronauts bring a herd of mutant rats back to Earth, where they begin breeding like Viagra addicts, feasting on the public and causing all sorts of traffic problems. You know, that old chestnut.
It may not be an original idea, but it is good to see someone eager to create the feel of 70s cult cinema. Besides, Leroy has listed us in the films credits, so......I would recommend this movie to everyone!
Jeff Leroy was kind enough to send us some of the first photos from "Rat Scratch Fever":
Wow! It seems that things have gotten worse in DC now that Obama has taken office. Just kidding! Washington is always been overrun with rats! Whats the big deal?
Giant rats under the control of one very disturbed boy......what?......oh yeah, that's another movie.
Traffic in Los Angeles is always bad.....now we got giant rats from space in the "Carpool Lane!"
Great, Leroy was able to find two actors that already look like action figures.
Ever spend a night in a cheap New York apartment?
Rats on the brain! 
Bring on the tanks! Creations that would make Eiji Tsuburaya proud.
Any movie with cleavage and explosions gets my vote.
Space travel can be very stressful.....and sweaty.
Leroy posses with his unholy army.
