Amusing Italian apocalyptic horror from director Mattei (1981's Hell of the Living Dead).
In the year 2230, a group of scavengers on motorbikes roam the countryside desperately looking for sustenance.
But all they find are hordes of flesh hungry (and nuclear-mutated) rodents - en masse!
Silly, but not without a few moments of pure delight. There's some fun flamethrowing action and a bunch of forced rat setups.
Also known as Rats: Night of Terror.
Italian title: Notte di Terrore.
Lovers of this sort of fare would also do well by Sergio Martino's After the Fall of New York (1983).
