The chaos of the climax, with limb-chewing bloodshed, is quite entertaining.

A goofy film, but one that's never dull is certainly entertaining enough to warrant the recent occasional cult reputation it's built.

The film takes its premise very seriously, but it's the use of Daschunds in rat costumes that has given Deadly Eyes something of an unintentional comedic spin, making for a rather uneven horror experience.

The rat sequences are rather potent if you can overlook the fact that the ravenous rodents are often DACHSHUNDS, dressed in little rat outfits and little rat masks. But you can't overlook this, which is what makes this movie great entertainment.
