Set in 252 A.B. (After the Bomb (?!)), mankind has been wiped out and forced to live underground. The reason, of course, is some sort of 'nuclear boom-boom'. Anyway, a group of would-be scavangers on their was home after a stageshow(that or they can't dress for anything) stumble upon a refugeslashcommunity that was once a working world with in itself.
Unfortunately for them when they begin to unravel the truth (and the jarred spaghetti and hotdogs), find themselves in a fight for their lives by a race of non-threatening, painted, and plastic guinea-pigs*cough*rats, sorry, and it's only a matter of time before, the, uhh, the movie ends...
So who will survive? (Bet you think that question gets old, huh?)

Wow! What a horrible fucking movie! I cannot believe someone paid Mattei money to do this film. It's that laughably bad. All the more reason to try and rent it if you can. I have never seen a film blatantly try to provoke the "rats" to be as ferocious as they weren't! I have yet to understand why through out the film, the crew decided to dump bags of "rats" and throw them onto the cast...Oh wait, that's right, because they weren't "bloodthirsty rats" to begin with!
I actually started rooting for the guinea pigs to win. I felt sorry for the poor guys. They were just minding their buisness. Bastard humans! On top of that, for some reason the film goes from a "night of terror" to a "a page of science fiction" with its riDAMNdiculous psuedo - "Planet of the Apes" ending. The characters are just as laughably dubbed and terrible. Sadly, I have to throw a splash of yellow for the man-specific anatomy, but it isn't so much that warrants me to totally bury the film. Well that is what we do here anyway. It tends to drag a little, but you get just about everything and some wonderfully bad dubbed voices WITH a wondefully dubbed 'southern' accent from someone who obviously isn't from the south! In this case it's 'Lilith', however, for her to be that smokin', I could care less if she had a horribly dubbed 'wilderbeast' accent. Jiminy Crickets, she garners a couple of points alone for the flick! Well, then on top of that, any excuse to mention Demons(Geretta Giancarlo) gives you points alone. I do recommend this to be rented, but not for the "terror" aspect.

What in the 6th level of blue hell...this "biker gang" (apparently led by Jared Leto and Chuck Norris?) has to be the biggest bunch of morons I've ever seen. Any group that thinks the best way to help someone get killer rats off of them is to set them on fire and send them through a window needs to have their priorities checked. Half the cast stand around and scream the entire movie for no reason while the other half make dumb stand-offs in the street.
How exactly have they been riding around all this time and not realized what exactly was going on? The movie makes it seem like the whole world has been taken over by the killer rats, but apparently they biker gang has had no prior inclination that this is the case. In the meantime they've read the Bible and established some sort of clan mentality, apparently when they rode their space bikes through the cosmos having magical adventures with meteor dolphins. What? I made that last part up but what other explanation is there, especially with the ending?
Lords a leapin' the dubbing in this movie is absolutely the worst I have seen. Not just for this site. The Captain isn't kidding; as much of a knock-out Lilith is, why her voice-over person decided to make her a redneck I'll never understand. Everyone else's dubbing is just as awful, nobody's voice fits their personality in the slightest. It's completely ridiculous.
The funny thing is, with all this I was laughing the whole way through. There were some terribly dull parts I almost passed out during, but for the most part it's a damn riot. Bodies flying everywhere, those poor meeses being flung all over the screen...menacing they ain't. The poor guys just want to get away. It reminds me of The Nest in that there is no way to really find the little guys dangerous or scary. When these big tough biker guys start flailing around because they got a wittle wat on them, it's so over the top I busted out every time.
There's a little gore and the aforementioned Lilith is definitely a plus, and even her male counterpart has no shame whatsoever. Both of them walking around nekkid, I couldn't really get mad at it, at least he wasn't the usual flabby moron we usually see.
Another thing I thought was great was the music, or really lack of. Every time some mundane thing would happen (someone catches a gun, a bike goes flying out of the back of a truck, someone has a serious thought) the music would immediately crescendo like nuts, then five seconds later cut out for no reason. It was like that ONE event was so poignant they just had to let it out...and then it's done.
I give it a high rental, possibly a buy. It's really good for a laugh and I haven't seen one of these ridiculously over the top cheese fests in a while.

Damn! Can't hook a lizard up with a ride?
They're all looking for what went wrong, with their lives particularly.
No-reason-at-all-extreme-character-intro!
Where's the to-ken? Where's the to-ken?
Jarred spaghetti and hotdogs? The cards don't look good for the future.
Ah, so that's where he's been hiding!
Ack! Man stuff!
This film's got moxie. Seriously, it's on oe of the crates.
Van Halen called. They want their shirt back. *wah wah*
She must be 'method acting'. There's no way that was scripted.
Hadookin!
Hadookin!
No headband. Headband. Great editing!
What the fucking hell?! Since when does footage of an assembly line for toys constitute for horror?!
The war maybe over, but sadly, the movie isn't.
Yeah, it never helps when the paint washes off the "rats" during the film.
We guess they needed to remind you what film you're watching just in case you fell alseep. Well at least this way you can tell your friends you've seen it.
