Italian shockers Hell of the Living Dead and Rats coming to Blu-ray!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Those gorehounds at Blue Underground are preparing to unleash some Italian double-trouble onto Blu-ray later this year. The company has announced that a two pack of HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD and RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR – both directed by infamous Italian schlockmeister Bruno Mattei – will be hitting stores at a date to be determined in 2014.

HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD:

An accident at a chemical plant unleashes 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 the occasional cross-dressing before the ravenous hordes of the living dead infect the entire world?

Also known as VIRUS, NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES and even ZOMBIE CREEPING FLESH, HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD has been newly transferred in shocking High Definition from the original uncut and uncensored negative!

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 (WOMEN’S PRISON MASSACRE), 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. Also known as RATS OF MANHATTAN and BLOOD KILL, RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR has been newly transferred in flesh-ripping High Definition from the original uncut and uncensored negative!

Extras include: Hell Rats Of The Living Dead – Interview with Director Bruno Mattei, theatrical trailers and posters and stills galleries.
