Not to be confused with that other Canadian killer-rat movie, OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. This one is a Hong Kong co-production, which is kinda weird since there's nothing at all Chinese about it up until one scene where our teenage protagonists go and see GAME OF DEATH in the theater(which just so happened to have also been made by producers Golden Harvest and directed by the same director as this, Robert Clouse). What it is though is a great little animals-gone-wild tale of larger than normal rats(small dog-sized to be exact) on a gory feeding rampage. The monsters were created by dressing dachshunds up in custom-made rat suits and for close-ups some bitey rat-puppet heads. A good gory 80s flick, Scatman Crothers shows up to get feisty and they even kill a baby which is not something you see much. More commonly known as DEADLY EYES.
Known in Australia(and the U.K.) as RATS:
