Rats: Night of Terror (Italian: Rats - Notte di terrore , also known as Blood Kill and Rats) is an Italian post-apocalyptic thriller movie directed in 1984 by Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso.
Set 225 years after a nuclear holocaust in 2015, the survivors are divided between those who live in comfortable underground cities and the "New Primitives" who live in the sunlight. A group of 11 these people comes across a mysterious village. Despite the presence of numerous horribly mutilated corpses, the adventurers decide to settle in town after discovering a large amount of food, a greenhouse with various fruit trees and a reservoir of drinking water. The following night hundreds and hundreds of hungry genetically mutated rats are ready to attack them one by one.
The film was filmed at Cinecittà studios in Rome, using the sets built for Once Upon a Time in America.
The movie was released in Canada with a R rating, after that had been previously submitted and rejected twice. In United States it was unrated.
Allmovie wrote, "for what it's worth, Rats remains one of Mattei's more watchable efforts."
Rats was released on DVD by Anchor Bay, in their 2005 Fright Pack. It was later re-released by Blue Underground in 2007.
