yet another Bruno Mattei turkey
29 January 2003
"Rats: Night of Terror" is the umpteenth variation on the old people-trapped-in-buildings-battling-zombies theme that George Romero started with "Night of the Living Dead." The fact is, zombies can be very scary, but rats aren't--they can be silly, or, in the case of this movie, boring and completely unthreatening. Bruno Mattei, who also directed "Night of the Zombies," succeeds in getting a few bad laughs out of this whole ordeal, but I found the characters and story to be very dull regardless of 'camp quality.' Since I was falling asleep while I watched this, I wound up fast-forwarding through the last half, stopping just in time to hear the idiotic 'scientist's explantion' as to why the rats were taking over. One final note: ever notice how all the people in these post-apocalyptic movies dress in the height of 1985 Euro-fashion?
