It took some time for fright-fans to really groove to the eclectic, insane and often inane brilliance of the late Bruno Mattei (ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH).Now, belatedly, viewed as a master of cut-price plasma-spillage, the time is ripe to revisit one of the great man’s wildest accomplishments – RATS: NIGHTS OF TERROR.Unveiled to audiences of video-violence in 1984, this post-apocalyptic pot-boiler sees some of the last humans alive grapple with a horde of flesh-eating rodents – and a shocking final revelation that has fast become Mattei’s signature ‘twist’.Also featuring a superlative ensemble cast that includes such Italian gore legends as Ottaviano Dell’Acqua (ZOMBIE FLESH-EATERS), Geretta Geretta (DEMONS) and Massimo Vanni (ZOMBI 3), RATS: NIGHTS OF TERROR is a creepy creature feature that positively oozes with intrigue.
