U.S. distributors Blue Underground have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of director Bruno Mattei's
Rats: Night of Terror a.k.a
Blood Kill (1984), starring Ottaviano Dell'Acqua, Geretta Geretta, Massimo Vanni, Gianni Franco, and Fausto Lombardi. The release is expected to arrive on the market in early 2014.
In the year 225 A.B. (After the Bomb), a group of post-apocalyptic bikers discover an abandoned research laboratory filled with food, water and thousands of rats. But these are no ordinary vermin; these are super-intelligent mutant rodents with a ravenous appetite for human flesh. Can a bunch of heavily armed but not-too-bright human scavengers survive a night of terror against the most hungry and horrific predators on earth?
Directed by the notorious Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror, Emanuelle in Prison and SS Experiment Love Camp), this hilarious Italian shocker is filled with over-the-top gore, bottom-of-the-barrel dialogue and attacks by what appear to be thousands of painted guinea pigs, all capped with a twist ending that must be seen to be believed.
