hellholehorror Do not watch this garbage. It has no redeeming features. Not a single one. Bad acting, crap dialogue, rubbish dubbing, no atmosphere, terrible music, dire 'special' effects, painful story, dreadful direction etc. Even being drunk wouldn't save this one. Even brain trauma wouldn't save this. Ugh.

chaosbaron This film has some great elements such as some awesome 80's synth music, ridiculous over the top 80's outfits and character names (Lucifer, Taurus, Video). It does also contain some cringeworthy elements such as animal abuse which is common in foreign movies from as recent as the 90's. One moment you have characters talking about the indecency of humanity, and saying how rats don't deserve the punishment they get, and the next has the actors kicking live rats like footballs and beaming them with beer mugs. The acting, lines, and delivery bridges well into the absurdly bad, with one "joke" sticking out to me in particular. The character Lucifer is stuck in his sleeping bag and having trouble with the zipper, Taurus unzips it, and makes a comment about calmness being the virtue of a leader... then suddenly everyone is bursting out laughing like its the funniest thing they ever heard. Even Taurus who delivered the line is doing full belly wide mouth open head back laughter. Maybe you have to be in a rat filled apocalypse to understand the joke...

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.

GL84 Hundreds of years after a nuclear war has ravaged the planet, a biker gang happens upon an abandoned building out in the countryside that's under attack by giant rats and forcing them to put up a fight against the creatures to survive.This is no doubt an incredibly cheesy film, and it reveals in it. From the outlandish dialog that is simply laugh-out-loud to the bad retro- futuristic clothing and post-apocalyptic setting along with the general premise itself, this is one cheesy film. That alone gives it its most powerful plus, as by keeping it light and fun, the edge is taken out and the incredibly goofy tone can be appreciated. The pacing is also a pleasant surprise, as it starts out fast and doesn't really slow down all that much as the gang arrives at the house within the first five minutes and the first attack comes shortly after that. From there on, it's non-stop and does an excellent job of keeping the interest on the screen either through its intense action scenes or the cheese on display as both never fail to entertain. The attacks themselves are quite nice and brutal, and result in some nice scenes down in the basement during the examination of the harvesting conditions on the site, the battle in the bar that features scores of creatures approaching them as well as the numerous scenes where the rats fall from the ceiling or the walls and overwhelm the victims which are some of the most suspenseful attacks being full of spectacle and action. The other sequences in here are just as action-packed, including some flame-thrower use and some grenade attacks, coupled with some bashing and running around, move the film along with the action make it a fully action-packed film. That, though, highlights the fact that this one does manage to feature enough suspense to counterbalance the cheese that it really comes off even better than the initial impression, with sleeping bag death being a prime example as it's enormously cheesy and provides the movie with some gore as well as scenes of the group noticeably trying to get away while down in the basement and must maneuver through a swarm mere inches away or the highlight piece of them trying to force their way into their hideout against the oncoming swarm as the others debate the merits of letting them in or not. These are much better than expected, and along with the cheesy gore and bloody deaths provide this with plenty of positives against the few, non-detrimental flaws. The film's biggest turnoff is the fact that at times this is pretty much a series of rip-offs and imitations from elsewhere, and while the premise is exactly like several other films thrown together there's enough remnants present to give that feel. The second half is exactly like any number of zombie films, the opening evokes many different post-nuclear war road films, and the final five minutes is pretty much like every virus-containment film around and doesn't do much to hide itself under these influences. The other big problem is that the film really doesn't make too much sense, as the explanations are so vague and out-there that it's hard to really get a sense of what's going on. Other than the cheese not being for everyone, this isn't all that bad.Rated UR/R: Graphic Violence, Language, Full Male and Female Nudity, a sex scene and graphic violence against real animals.
