U.S. distributors Blue Underground have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Hell of the Living Dead / Rats: Night of Terror. The ‘Blood-Soaked Double Feature’ Blu-ray release will be available for purchase on August 26th.
Hell of the Living Dead
An accident at a chemical plant unleashed a horrific virus, and an elite SWAT team is sent to New Guinea to investigate. But when they arrive on the hellish island, they discover a plague of flesh-eating zombies as well as a beautiful female reporter who practices nude anthropology. Can the commandos survive this cannibal rampage, uncover a shocking government secret and still find time for occasional cross-dressing before the ravenous hordes of the living dead infect the entire world?
Directed by the notorious Bruno Mattei (Rats: Night of Terror, Emmanuelle in Prison and SS Extermination Love Camp), this ’80s Italian gut-muncher is infamous for its eye-popping gore, jaw-dropping dialog and heart-stopping use of inappropriate stock footage.
Rats: Night of Terror
In the year 225 A.B. (After the Bomb), a group of post-apocalyptic bikers discover an abandoned research laboratory filled with food, water…and thousands of rats. But these are no ordinary vermin; these are super-intelligent mutant rodents with a ravenous appetite for human flesh. Can a bunch of heavily armed but not-too-bright human scavengers survive a night of terror against the most hungry and horrific predators on earth?
Directed by the notorious Bruno Mattei, this hilarious Italian shocker is filled with over-the-top gore, bottom-of-the-barrel dialogue and attacks by what appear to be thousands of painted guinea pigs, all capped with a twist ending that must be seen to be believed.
