Mulberry Street review
When a plague that causes humans to transform into rat creatures spreads through Manhattan, an ex-boxer, his military trained daughter, a bartender, a drag queen and two old men try to outlast the infection in the dilapidating building they’ve just been evicted from. With rats, the carriers of the disease, able to squeeze through the cracks and crannies, it becomes a hard fought night to stay alive.
Mulberry Street takes a different approach to the zombie movie genre. Instead of a decomposing corpse chewing off a chunk of flesh and infecting another human, director Jim Mickel decided to spin the statistic that rats outnumber the humans in New York by having the plague carried in the four-legged rodents. For this reason, the suspense and tension in Mulberry Street is palpable. The rats have the ability to run through the walls and floors of the building, to scurry through the holes in the apartments and get our reluctant heroes.
Mulberry Street is an excellent example of how a low-budget movie can still attain all the terror of a blockbuster. Convincing acting, a heart-wrenching finale and the thrill of survival propel Mulberry Street into success.
