Just ordered it mate!! 😊
Just finished reading your book, Brad. I really enjoyed it and I hope you write another someday. Thanks for continuing to make us all laugh with your books and videos.
The book sucks
@@hansdieter4537damn you! The book is art!
The scene when the rat went into the most unseen holy of holies that eye shot was priceless
"We're RATS! We're rats! We're furry and forlorn! We live in sewers, love in sewers, and our hearts are torn!" This movie is totally new to me;)
I'm the giant rat that makes all of the rules???
@@animatrix1490 "We laugh, we cry,
We sing in harmony;
I love her - but I love him -
And darn it, he loves me!
Ohhh...Rats Rats Rats Rats Rats!"
Gotta love that Hey Arnold reference!
@@timkozdra5647 High FIVE!! Immediately thought of it with no idea what this movie even was:):)
@@jemofthe80s18 Totally
"DID YOU JUST FAKE NEWS, RATS?!"
My favorite line of the episode.
Chocolate using Myra might be the most creative, hilarious scene I've ever seen in a film.
The "It's sugar!" "Heh, no it's not." Almost killed me.
The ending of Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes has got nothing on the ending of Rats: Night of Terror.
Exactly, this at least made sense in the context of a radioactive +300yr future.
PoTA was a Charles Heston fever dream about a Chimp-Human romance, and the sole gun that saved the day.
i gotta say i miss his italian horror reviews, he has so much wacky shit to work with 🤣
Yep
I miss the snark. It's the Cinema Cheerleader
One of the best endings in the history of movies and cinema 😁
This movie cracked me up! The acting, the voices, the idiot characters, and the red rat room of doom!
We got a Snob, A Tenold and Goodbadflicks video in one day. I'm a happy camper.
Ha. Those are my three go to as well. Nice. Only RLM is left.
Happy to see I'm not the only one that holds the holy trinity of movie reviews in such high regard. Got any other channels to check out? Rageholic Cinema should definitely be on your list

Don't forget weird movies with Mark
Always great to see a reviewer showing Geretta Geretta some love. She always brings a little something extra to films... and man do the films that she brings that to often need it. Except Demons, that film was already amazing and she just helps.
I hope one day Brad dresses his baby as a little cinema snob and dubs over himself to review a movie about babies 😂
Can't wait for the baby geniuses review
I don’t
Move over Planet of the Apes, The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects… Rats: Night of Terror has the best twist ending ever
*What?!?!?!?!* How could you ever forget to mention the unbelievable twists & twist ending to the modern *Billionaire v Alien Jesus* with its 2 perfect twists. _The discovery that “Martha Kent-Luthor-Wayne-EL!” was Bruce Wayne & Clark Kent’s mother.
PLUS, the super difficult double twist ending of: “the 4 idiots buried Superman while he was in a Kryptonite coma, and he only had enough Jedi Force powers to lift some dirt off his coffin. ”
OR. 2. The double secret twist that changes the movie Twister! *The fact that those weren’t tornados, but Scientology’s Ancient Alien criminal ghosts. That’s why the tornados growl and “choose” their victims.
You have got to love a team captain who triple taps every ally just to be completely sure they are dead
Been looking forward to this one getting the Snob treatment for a while, worth the wait!
For real! Of all Matteo movies this is so perfect.
But is it, though? Tthis, and a lot of recent reviews, have felt more like Brad reviewing old movies, than the Snob.
@@barachiel212 - he did an old roundtable discussion about this with some of his friends, i dunno if it's still up?
I swear I remember long long ago, Brad reviewing this but I vaguely remember it, sitting around the table with some of the old Springfield crew
I've seen this masterpiece so many times and will continue until inevitable ratpocalypse
Love this movie. Just so damn fun to watch. Half the fun is listening to the dubbed voices. Great review.
Note to self: If covered with rats, don't go to the guy with the flamethrower for help.
Truely one of my fave RiffTrax
I've seen this movie the first time on Tubi and I love it. I like to think this movie takes place in the same universe as Hell of the Living Dead.
There are precious few people on Earth who can say their body of work includes both Terminator 2 and Troll 2.
I like these styles of creature horror
"Well, you have about 500 desease now."
I died 🤣🤣
Myrna makes Willie Scott look like a hardened badass lol.
Rats were very much harmed in the making of this film.
RIP
yeah, can't watch this
When you have the filmmakers behind HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, as well as two Reb Brown movies (ROBOWAR and STRIKE COMMANDO)... How can this possibly fail?!?
Neil Breen should do a remake of Rats. He did work with Chocolate in Pass Through.
That would literally cause cerebral hemorrhage!
And I'd love it 😅
A certified Bruno Mattei classick
The Fallout movie I've always wanted
This is how Endgame should have ended. Rats bursting out of Thanos.
Wonderfully absurd Italian post apocalypse movie.
Chocolate dancing around and gleefully singing that she’s a “white” will stay with me much longer than the film’s ending.
"Well close enough, they found the doorway to Hell, Lucifer's gotta be nearby" 😂
Yes!!! A Last Crusade reference!!!
One of the most 80s post apocalyptic movies with one of the most 70s post apocalyptic endings
Poor rats, the way they were dumping them I’m betting they can’t have the bit in the credits saying no animals were harmed
13:10
Thank you for putting a name to that voice. I've been watching these Italian horror movies for 20 years, (coincidentally Rats and Hell of the living dead were some of the first) and you are the first reviewer to give a name to that beautifull voice!!
Have they ever done a documentary on him?
Even a smaller, DVD extra? I'd love to learn more :)
Cheers from Canada and thanks for another classic review!
Five continents? I take it either Africa or South America got off Scot free. So did Antarctica, but nobody counts penguins. Now if sea otters lived there, it would be the best continent.
That one white mouse just had me laughing for some reason lol
Rats, we're rats, we're the rats, we prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the rats.
*I'M DA GIANT RAT DAT MAKES ALL OF DA RULES!*
let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
I bought this on DVD and they put It out on blu-ray with Hell Of The Living Dead.
Wow Commodore 64 text in the future. Tbf when the movie was made the C64 was high end for a home computer. And was very popular in Europe. I approve.
I remember the ending freaking my little brother out, and ruining Ninja Turtles for him because he was a Master Splinter fan.
11:33 So THIS is where that one rat clip in Diamanda Hagan's intro comes from. I've always wondered where it was from.
Reminds me of a book by Gunter Grass, "The Rat". This movie could almost be an adaptation. Thanks for the fun review SGP. Peace and long life.
Nice to know John Carpenter's The Thing was popular enough back then that Bruno Mattei ripped off the "solemnly burn bodies at night" scene
I can see Burt and Peral looking at all those rats and saying not my problem.
"Hoopers shop" I'm dying over here!!!
There needs to be a Rats: Night of Terror and Of Unknown Origin crossover!
This episode is a long time coming
So this is basically Planet of the Rats? Damn it all. Damn it all to Hell.
When an Italian movie is involved, you know it's going to be a great episode.
Congrats on the book! I'll be picking up my copy as soon as the next paycheck arrives ;)
When I saw the video title, I figured this must be an older review. I've been a fan for 10 years and know your love for Vincent Dawn, so I just assumed this one had been covered already. Glad to be wrong!!
Also, for anyone who likes the looks of this movie, check out the Rifftrax version!!
It's one of Mike and the (former) bots best Riffs, since the MST3K days :)
Cheers from Canada
You should do Night Killer 😂 it's the best Claudio film
Also i cant resist singing Rats 'they're still coming after you, and there's nothing you can do'
Such a good song.
I remember watching this on a midnight Friday (or Saturday?) horror timeslot and literally the only thing I remember is that ending.
That's also the story of Tattoine from Star Wars.
It was once a lush jungle planet where the locals built massive glass skyscrapers.
Then evil alien raiders came, tried to enslave everyone, blah blah, nukes.
Glass skyscrapers create endless sand. Original residents turn into Jawas and Tuskan Raiders after hiding in caves.
That ending?! What the fuck Snob?!🤣
I got dvd double featire this with hell of the Living Dead in thee early 2000s and this film rocks
I am siding with the rats. They are too cute, and the human characters are idiots.
Gotta love that big grey 'not for resale' band they put on your proofs at Amazon...
Both rats and hell of the living dead are my guilty pleasure movie which it said on blue underground blu-ray cover and it's really silly in a good way and is not really scary is try to do a Fulci references for gore and brief graphic nudity
I haven't seen Rats, but I LOVE Hell of the Living Dead. It's certainly not a good movie, but is massively entertaining.
1:36 In other words, it's Fallout, but many Vault Dwellers leave for the surface to early and turn into Ghouls.
4:02 I can hear it now: "Producer guy: But why do these wasteland survivors choose to sleep in a rat0infested building? Writer guy: "So the movie can happen." Producer: "Fair enough."
Now that's how you end a bat sh*t crazy rat movie
It was a game!
looked at the code at 7:26 its a C64 board/puzzle game
Fifteen By Glen Fisher 1983 (c) The Code Works
In this game from Glen Fisher and Paul Barnett, published in 1983 in multiple releases, including Cursor/64 #1, Cursor/64 #2, and also in Scandinavien PD #04, you must arrange the 15 pieces in numerical order using as few moves as possible. F and S swaps fast and slow speeds, Q to quit if you've had enough. Like golf, lowest score wins!
the ending was told to me at a camfire when i was younger than 10 and 20+ years later we watched it with my dawg
Been watching this with Rifftrax overlayed on it, fun stuff!
The RiffTrax version is great. "They're chocolate bunnies on a conveyor belt!"
Cool video as always Snob 💯
How I love this film.
I called that ending LMAO 🤣
I love this movie, and it has such a perfect ending!
I played a Fallout Tabletop RPG, which was set in Chicago. Needless to say mutant rats killed my character.
Forgot to mention they were like swarms of land piranhas. So yeah I was fucked. Botched every dice roll.
So, I guess this is the closest we’re ever going to get to a movie starring the Skaven, huh?
The first minutes of this movie made me feel I was watching the "Turbo lover" music video from Judas priest.
Cine Masochist, GoodBadFlicks, Brandon Tenold, this is now the fourth channel Ive seen review the film.
I should watch it because it looks like an entertaining, gory, house siege movie like Night of the Living Dead.
The rats being totally disinterested on attacking the actors is hilarious. Stagehands are just chucking rats at the actors.
So were the rat people even further evolved rats or were they like mutated underground people the only time I watched this movie was when I was high so I don't remember much could someone clear it up for me if they feel like it
Still less rats than the last Chipotle I visited.
After years of it being referenced all the way back in the early Hell of the living dead review its wild to finally see a review of RATS!
Really missing the comfy blue chair
In an alternative universe, it's The Cinema Snob talking to the audience instead of Sam Elliott in The Big Lebowski.
Snob does Rats Night of Terror, and Tenold does Island of Terror on the same day. Coincidence? Probably
It's okay the apocalypse missed Apparently 2 whole continents
BRUNO!!!
I’m a huge rodent phobe, and have read The Rats from 1974 by James Herbert, and seen the movie Deadly Eyes, which took place in Toronto instead of London, like the book, I grew up with Willard and Ben, so here I go. My friends tell me, hey there not that bad, I’m like cool. Let me dump a tub full of them on your head. enjoy:)
Geretta told me some fantastic and insane stories about making of this movie
Hmmm
Yes, yes, finally rise from the under empire, rule over man things, yes yes!
Duke looks like a book accurate Droog
Missed an opportunity to compare those two on the motorcycle at :30-:32 to say "it looks like George and Edna from The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue survived the apocalypse..."
Chocolate: "AAAAaaaahhhhh!"
Rat man: "Rude!"
Wonder if there’s any correlation between Rats: Night Of Terror and Burial Ground: Nights Of Terror aside from the obvious?
If I'm going to be honest here, I saw this movie before. I thought it was an "Okay" kind of horror movie, especially since it was the first horror movie that I've seen to feature rats in it
I would LOVE to see you cover the original Willard, as well as the remake. The former was free on TH-cam recently, and Bruce Davidson acted his ass off and actually freaked me out with his delivery.
I didn't like Ben, except for the surprisingly depressing ending and song.
One of two films that fooled me into thinking somebody had adapted James Herbert's Rats books. Dammit!, someone make a Rat's movie!.
21:36 I must find the dimension where William Hickey played Pinhead.
Italian Fallout.
24:22 - SPOILER: I have always assumed the Rat People were always good guys, considering the rescue and all of the yellow suited beings nodding to Chocolete's speech on benevolent brotherhood... Though there would probably be some awkward time of adjusting to this weird situation.
16:11 Nice callback to HiTops.
*The following is the opinion of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it, so don't take anything he says too seriously!*
[EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] "Pity Lloyd isn't around to help the Cinema Snob fight that rat plague he's dealing with on the title card! Guess his new cats will have to invite the RATs to play with them (Cats are known to toy with their food/prey) instead!"
Hey, all right! Thanks for Snobbing this one, I also like the Rifftrax of it too!
24:37 classic. Clapping reminds me of reaction to “If I ever come to Jesus I come all the way!”
