I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I rated this 10 for one simple reason. I spent the last 20 minutes hoping against all odds that the underground dudes would turn out to be human rat hybrids.They f***king were. What can I say. I laughed, I rewound many times to hear hilarious speeches. I'm a vegan and against (obviously) any animal cruelty, of which there seems to be a sh*t ton of, but I still loved it.A perfect example of the genre and of the era it was made. Rat men = win.yay

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.

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.

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.
