Ratcatcher is a 1999 British drama film written and directed by Lynne Ramsay. The film follows the life of James Gillespie, a 12-year-old boy living in a poor Glasgow housing estate in the 1970s.

One day, James and his friends are playing in the canal when they accidentally cause a rat to drown. James feels guilty and is haunted by the incident. He also begins to experience feelings of guilt and shame for his family’s poverty and his own inability to change his circumstances.
