Fun B-movie
30 March 2007 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

I enjoyed watching Rats: Night of Terror for several reasons, the dubbing was noticeable and some of the characters names was funny like Video and Chocolate. The plot was similar to something like Mad Max and the gang themselves reminded me of the road warriors from Mad Max 2. The Rats was obviously just Rats at parts but when they attacked them you could tell it was plastic Rats, it was also like buckets of plastic Rats was being poured on several of the actors.

I'm a fan of Italian horror so this is another one I like, not has gory as some but it is fun to watch for the cheap effects and the noticeable dubbing. Check Rats: Night of Terror out if you're in the mood for some low budget fun.
