Gotta be batty to think it's good.
Fromn the get-go this movie stays boring and stale. This had to be a made for TV movie, i'll wet myself laughing if they claimed this was a motion picture. <
> <
>A sceintist geniticly altered a bunch of bats and then they escape and attack when there called via remote. The ugly cop and her new dopey love interest & local animal control expert are on the case while his annoying and cant act for s*** daughter and boyfriend think there news reporters who keep follwing them around looking for an exclusive. All in a small and corrupted town. <
> <
>This is obviosly a TV movie. It plays more like a pathetic soap opera with slight attempts at humor from time to time, while adding killer mutated bats into the mix. It is neither a horror, nor suspence. There is nothing frightining about the film except for the bad acting. It's a no wonder you wont have seen these actors before, nor will you in future. The effects of gore are laying a cows rib bones on the back of an actor and then hanging plastic bats over him then add some badly created CGI shadows to create an effect thats so bad it's not even laughable. <
> <
>The movie is a waste of time. If you wanna see a Bat movie, then the actual title BATS was a better movie, but, it wasnt great either... but leaves this one for dead. <
> <
>Rent it if you feel ill and have the need to puke at bad acting.

Not great, maybe not even good, but...
...hey, at least it wasn't "Bats." Unlike that movie, this one doesn't take itself too seriously. <
> <
>I have to admit you have to be in the right mood to see this horror film. It's campy, it's low budget, has some bad acting, and it isn't going to win any awards in filmmaking, but I was mildly entertained for an hour and a half. One reason is that the movie tends to make fun of itself - a reviewer hit the nail on the head when they say it borders on "Abbot and Costello Meet [instert monster]." The movie's got some pretty decent comedy going for it, much of it involving the corporate villain's large lackey Luis...who for some reason gets killed off WAY too early! What the heck? He was the most redeeming part of the movie! He's in maybe 30% of the film but offers 75% of the laughs! I had a good laugh when he takes his dead guard dog to the vet: <
> <
>Vet: "So I'll run some tests on him, then I'll call you." <
>Luis: "Ah don't worry, you can keep 'em. He's no use to me now." <
> <
>I also have to give this movie kudos for the special affects. They weren't great, but the director didn't emphasis them so you didn't really notice it as much as some horror films do, and at least they looked like real bats. The only real faults on this movie I can give is that the storyline slows down near the end, and a couple of times when the corncob-o-meter went on overload. It's not for everyone's taste, but if you want to see a movie to laugh at or you're in the mood for a lighter type of horror movie, this might be your style. I'm tempted to give it two stars, but hey I'm in a good mood.

Mutant Bats on the Rampage
A professor at a college in a small town is working with bats. He has bred them to be stronger and meaner. Then they get out and kill him. A local cop, once of the LAPD, and the local vet/animal control officer, worry about the loose bats and soon have their fears confirmed as the bats begin to attack others. <
> <
>The hunt for the bats goes on while the body count rises. The town's apple festival is in jeopardy but it won't be shut down because of the necessary income it brings in. But our heroes start to notice a pattern in the attacks and learn more about how to disrupt or scare bats. In the end, we learn the truth of what is going on and see the final stand between heroes and bats. <
> <
>A pretty typical story that follows the Jaws formula but adds a new twist on the animals' behavior. This is not just nature lashing out. Animal attacks, politics, and greed all come together in this story. Check it out. <
