Movie Reviews of Bats
Movie Review: They drop the ball on this film. It could be so much more.
Summary: 2 Stars
Some B films are great and they have a cult following, but this B film will never have a cult following in latter years to come, because this film lacks a good plot. Every film need a good plot story or it will become a mess.
This film has got a weak plot story, but it not mess and it not scary-suspense action movie. It just scary looking bats killing people action movie.
If you people who saw this film and think this film is a scary-suspense action movie, you all are out of your minds.
If you people want to see a good scary-suspense action movie with a good story plot, see JAWS.
This film is not bad and it not good. You people should see this film only once on cable and never see it again.
Summary of Bats
Genetically altered super-bats have been unleashed by a deranged scientist and its up to a small town sheriff and a team of bat specialists to stop this blood-thirsty menace from spreading. Special features: never-seen-before footage uncut r rated version batty bloopers photo galleries and much more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 03/23/2004 Starring: Lous Diamond Phillips Dina Meyer Run time: 91 minutes Rating: R Director: Louis MorneauThis movie is for everyone who misses the old Roger Corman monster movies, only it has animatronics and computer effects instead of papierm?ch?. The title of Bats pretty much sums up the plot: Crazed bats are running amok, disemboweling people and cattle. Only beautiful wildlife zoologist Dina Meyer (Johnny Mnemonic, Starship Troopers) and stalwart sheriff Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, the Young Guns movies, Courage Under Fire) can save the day! Let's be frank: The scenario is ludicrous, the dialogue God-awful, the special effects unconvincing--try as they might, the bats just aren't that scary--but what does it matter? The movie rips along effectively. There's always a bat attack just around the corner and the director makes liberal use of all kinds of editing and camera effects, including a distorted bat-cam point of view that makes no sense at all but is pretty entertaining. Various scenes imitate Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, but lack even a hint of that movie's eerie precision. The actors play it straight without trying to be particularly serious. All in all, Bats knows what it is--trash-horror--and accomplishes its ends with good humor. Not quite up to the standard of Tremors (still the definitive trash-horror flick), but better than most recent efforts. --Bret Fetzer
