Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

MonsterVision99 A truly remarkable film, some of the other killer animal movies have a setting that isn't far from our own, normal places like a cabin, the beach, a forest, a small town, a city, but this movie goes beyond that, its a Bruno Mattei movie, he wouldn't settle for anything less, this is probably the best killer rat movie and the best post apocalyptic movie too, its fun, the characters are great, very likable with their own unique personality, its every graphic movie, also I would like so say something that not many people talks about, it has to do with a scene were one of the characters gets burned, it was very revolutionary for Italy at the time, before all they would do its just to light someone on fire and that's it, but Mattei decided to improve it, he shot it on a special suit for the actor and shot the scene putting the fire on and off and edited it so it would look like one sequence, for the time in Italy that was great, overall the movie its great fun, go and watch it.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Bruno Mattei is notorious for making a Dawn of the Dead ripoff, Hell of the Living Dead. Rats is certainly one of his more original works, and although it's definitely low budget, it's funny as hell and entertaining the whole way through.A nuclear war has destroyed much of the planet, and humans live underground. A motorcycle gang risks going above to see if they can reside in the post-apocalyptic environment of what was once a city, only to find a rather unfriendly species lurking in the shadows... millions of rats, hungry rats.There are some parts of the movie that are offensive and gory. There is racism; the main character, a black woman, has been named Chocolate, and when flour falls on her from a shelf, she states, "I'm whiter than all of you!" On some versions of this film this phrase was replaced with something else. There is a graphic suicide, and the rats eating the victims is very disturbing, although low-budget, to watch.The acting, for a low-budget film, was amazing, surprisingly. The soundtrack was catchy and at times creepy, and the plot, although similar to Deadly Eyes (1982), is very original. Strangely the many rats used in the film are actually guinea pigs with fake tails and painted faces, likely because guinea pigs don't bite as much and are very friendly and docile creatures.If you want to see a cheesy, gory horror movie, look no further! Rats: Night of Terror is definitely not a well-made horror film but it is comedic, and really worth it!

Scott LeBrun As cheesy, cruddy Italian post-apocalypse cinema goes, "Rats: Night of Terror" is constantly amusing and certainly NOT ever boring. It has enough uproarious moments to make it quite an acceptable diversion, and some brilliant lines (ex. "I'm gonna warm their whiskers!"). The story (credited to director Bruno Mattei) deals with a roving gang that comes upon an abandoned complex where they get inundated with rats that are more voracious, aggressive, and intelligent than normal. In order to ensure their own survival, they determine to make it an unsafe world for the rodent population. Good fun all the way for its decently paced 97 minutes, it seems to suggest that the best way to survive a post-apocalypse future is to go underground. Luigi Ceccarelli's electronic score is a hoot to listen to, just like much of the dialogue. The dubbing and vocal performances, as is often the case for this sort of thing, are just hysterical, with the on screen performers gamely going with the flow of this material. It's extremely cool to note that leading actor Ottaviano Dell'Acqua, billed as Richard Raymond for English language prints, is the man behind the infamous "worm eye" zombie from Lucio Fulci's "Zombi 2". Besides Dell'Acqua, people will also recognize Geretta Geretta (billed as Janna Ryann) from Lamberto Bava's "Demoni". The funniest performance comes from Henry Luciani as Duke, what with his facial expressions. Wonderful gags include a rat emerging from a victim's mouth. The overall mood and feel of "Rats: Night of Terror" is a great study in decay and despair, and pretty much everybody in this cast of characters is fair game for a hideous demise. And the movie rewards all viewers who stick it out to the end with a priceless final revelation they won't soon forget. Don't listen to the naysayers...at least give this goofy bit of Euro escapism a chance. It may be of the endearingly bad kind of experience, but for this viewer it wasn't so bad it was good. It was so bad it was a RIOT. Eight out of 10.

peter-bruck Well, preparing to actually watch this movie (I'm not implying you should) you need to cope with the fact that rockers can survive a nuclear war, but can easily be killed by a dozen of mice (in the movie they're called billions of rats). The rockers are looking for a laboratory, where a cure for their nuclear war based sickness is to be found. Only problem; the "laboratory" (in fact it's a quite common apartment)is inhabited by pets, deadly pets. In the next 80 minutes, the rats kill one after another just by crawling over the rockers flawless bodies or by playing cruel tricks on them, just like MacCauley Culkin in Home alone. Also, in the "end" of the "movie" there's a quite "surprising" "turn". You won't believe your eyes because it's so shocking and horrifying, the human eye isn't capable to watch.
