Movie buffins help me!
 

I'm desperately trying to remember the titles of two movies to no avail.

First movie (watched a long time ago):

Somebody drops lsd in the water of some zoo and the animals go mental, break free from from the zoo and go on a killing spree. I believe it's a late 70's movie, or possibly early 80's.


Second movie (again, watched it ages ago):

Rats go mental in a big city (New York, I think) and start eating humans. I think this one too is mid to late 70's, or possibly early 80's.


If you know them, please let us know 'cause I wanna hunt them down both on whatever format they might be available on. There have been several movies involving evil rats, but the one I mentioned is the most 'modern' that I can think of.

first one is this?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090322/

Thank you soooooo much!!! That's the one!!! And there was me thinking that it was an american movie. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to pokkeherrie again

and I hope this is NOT the other one :
http://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Eyes-Cl.../dp/B000AMMI7G

It's not but thank you all the same, because that's another one that i had in mind but couldn't recall the name of. You guyzz rulzzzz!

Google brings this as a possibilty for the second one...
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0083801
at least it's an early 80's movie about killer rats in a big city (Toronto)


edit: oh, that's the same as nicfit... nevermind

There's a particular scene on the second one that might help:

This couple are getting well aquainted with each other at the back of a car, and the rats (not gigantic ones, though) get into it and the rest you can imagine. From what I remember it is a different movie from Deadly Eyes.

probably not this either?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086036/


edit:
maybe this?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086176/

Unfortunately they are not, but thanks for your help anyway. I've been trying to think of all the movies I've watched that have rats in them, but none seem to fit the memory of that particular one.

Yep, I smell the careless hand of Bruno Mattei in the second one as well. Good work, pokkehrrie. I've never seen "Wild Beasts", but I've inflicted several of Franco Prosperi's films on myself already ("Farewell Uncle Tom", anyone?), so kinda feel duty bound to subject myself to this. Besides, it's got Lorraine "Women's Camp 119" DeSalle in it, so it should be fun...and talking of "Women's Camp 119", wasn't that directed by Bruno Mattei? Ah, the Italians. Who else would give us such works of genius as "The Beast In Heat"?

maybe that was a cheesy tv movie... or was it a "proper" movie?

last one before i give up... probably not his either then?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067991/

you could try checking this list of imdb with keyword "rat"

"beast in heat". that's one amazing movie indeed. that whole late 70's women-in-nazi-camps-exploitation-thing is just so bizarre to begin with.


edit: and again the same as nicfit.. .although yours is the sequel.

as far as I can remember, "ben" is more "rats-killing-people" based, while "Willard" has a stronger psychological side that I suppose porky would remember... but who knows!

Bizarre and lucrative - I think my company has put out half a dozen Nazi sexploitation flicks.

Ben and Socrates? hehe. No, it's not that one either, but thanks for your help regardless. Now I want to re-watch The Beast In Heat too, all because of you guys.

Edit - pokke

well, there are STILL movies about killer rats being made (mostly tv flicks)... so "modern" probably wouldn't be the right word for that, he he!:D

wow, are they still being made? or are we seeing a reappearance of the genre?

i already noticed that there's a trailer for a fictional nazi sexploitation movie in the tarantino/rodriguez grindhouse movie, although i haven't seen it.

And that's why it was bracketed, sonny.:rolleyes: :D :confused:
