Review of Rats: Night of Terror (1984) by Bobby L — 01 Sep 2009

Gets both stars for being an absolute comic gem. From the overacting, not helped by hilarious dubbing, to some of the "special" effects. I think they were trying to avoid swearing, which led to classics such as "Next time I wont be so LENIENT!".

When rats attack people, they seem to always fall from the sky, probably because crew members were just chucking them down on actors. There's one classic shot where hundreds of rats attack. But these aren't your everyday rats,they seem to be solid plastic and placed on a conveyor belt, in order to give the impression of a speedy swarm.

The end was surprisingly good, and is the only point where the films limitations aided, rather than hindered.
