Product Description

After a nuclear war wipes out most of the planet's inhabitants, a small group of survivors manage to begin afresh and start seeking out the materials to build a new society. But when their travels take them to a small deserted town they discover a threat greater than any they have ever known: swarms of maniac, flesh-eatering rodents. Can the last living humans find the resources necessary to fight this new foe, or have they survived the apocalypse only to perish in the rodent jaws of death?

Years after a nuclear holocaust has decimated the population and scorched the earth, the survivors are divided between those that live in underground cities, and those that live up top called the "new primitives". A group of these come across an abandoned and strange village, where the only sign of life is hundreds of rats. They take a look around and discover food and water, they also discover the remains of several badly eaten corpses. Instead of taking as much of the food and water as they can and moving on, they decide it would be better to bed down and stay the night. It doesn't take long before the hundreds of rats turn into thousands, and the group are their intended meal.

The acting is hilarious, virtually every actor is massively over the top and it makes the film almost feel like a cartoon. All the men are adequately butch and argumentative, the girls are mostly good looking and act hysterical most of the time, screaming at everything. The most recognisable member of the cast is Geretta Geretta who played Rosemary the year later in Lamberto Bava's Demons, she's the one that puts the mask on at the start and becomes the first to turn into a demon. It's directed by Bruno Mattei who had a reputation for being a hack, he's even been called the "Ed Wood of Italian filmmaking". His films tended to have very low budgets, awful dubbing, gory effects and hilarious dialogue, Rats: Night Of Terror has all of that and more. As bad as some people think Mattei was, all the films of his i've seen have been very watchable, I actually love one of his films called Hell Of The Living Dead. There's a bit of gratuitous nudity, the effects are done quite well, the mutilated bodies of those found near the start of the film look very good.

Though I first saw this film when I was fourteen [hence mental scaring], the enjoyment of it is still there. I now have dozens of horror films, so I rarely find a meaningful scare factor, but there is something about rats on which this film capitalises. The gore. This film is defently worth buying; however, do not purchase with hope of brilliant acting or script perfection.

When I was a kid, we had this babysitter who would sit there reading horror novels. I remember seeing one with a really epic cover depicting this scabby evil looking rat. Anyway, one time she left it and I couldn't resist. James Herbert's The Rats was awesome and these rodents seemed like the coolest animal ever! Intelligent, fast and lethal. They could strip people to the bone in seconds. I had to have some pet rats. They could be trained as a rat army, my own personal, unstoppable, agents of death! I would feed them on raw steak and liver, without the onions!

Bruno Mattei's Rats: Night of Terror, features these homicidal landlocked piranha and pits them against their post-apocalyptic-Mad-Max-Style-punk-rock human counterparts. It's deadly scavenger v deadly scavenger. And It's great! And the ending has to be seen to be believed. In the gob-smacking "Noooooooo!" stakes it takes Chuck Heston's discovery of the Statue of Liberty in Planet of the Apes, eats it, poos it out and eats it again.

Anyway, I eventually got some real pet rats, which I named Sturm and Drang. I think they may have been faulty. For a start they were more interested in making nests out of old loo roll tubes than chowing down on raw meat! What they did eat ,mainly carrots, grain and nuts (though, they did like a bit of lard), they singularly failed to rip and shred in a frenzied orgy of teeth and spittle. Instead, they picked it up in their little ratty hands and nibbled! They didn't even attack each-other like male hamsters. Come to think of it, they weren't even as nocturnal has hamsters.

So either my rats were defective or this slice of classic ratsploitation is as ridiculous as Night of the Lepus. And I know for a fact that my Gran saw a rat as big as a dog.

ooh a film with killer rats that is supposed to be really gory and has gotten suprisingly good reviews on various internet sites. i'll buy that! in fact it isn't gory at all. what we're left with however is really funny (and bad) acting, dumb haircuts and an ending that is hilarious. classic vipco material here! we love it . so, if you like terrible 80's horror this is for you.

Rats is actually so bad it's good. Were talking about Italian trash B movie horror. Our story takes place in the future the world is a desolate place with no hope. But there is a biker gang who like to wear 80s clothes and have 80s gadgets who stumble upon a bar to live in. Except this bar is full of killer rats.

Even though the movie is dubbed, the acting is still awful- the set up is awful. But it's so bad it is funny- beers and friends will only enchance that- no correction beer and friends are a must when viewing this movie. There are some interesting gore moments, and virtually everyone is unlikable which includes a group leader who is very trigger happy.

It's a 2 star movie and that's being generous- however it is an essential purchase because it is hilarious and stupid and if you're in that mood you'll get something out of this.
