I always knew they liked to sensationalise their titles, but now they're being outright truthful about some of the crap they release.
Take this example from the upcoming Rats: Night of Terror:
One Incomparable Night Of Hairy Horror From The Director of HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD
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 (HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, EMMANUELLE IN PRISON), this hilarious 1983 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. RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR has been fully restored from original vault elements and is now presented completely uncut and uncensored.
The last paragraph is what does it for me. Good old Anchor Bay for finally telling it like it is.
One thing strikes me - it has an interview with the director, so what exactly does he think of the cover blurb?
