Wordiezett So much average

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

DogFilmCritic Its was a very creative film, i was well acted and had some humorers parts that made it more enjoyable. I like that it didn't take it self that serious and at the same time making it scary, i admit the bats looked fake in times and the CGI wasn't that great at the time but i don't consider it as bad as say birdemic. It had great characters specially the stereotypical black side kick that was funny most of the time, the only bad character was "evil scientist" that well...was evil and did not explain things well he was just that evil mad scientist.I recommend this one as just a Sunday movie to watch don't expect complex story lines. Its fun to watch and the ending was just the funniest ending you could imagine.

Python Hyena Bats (1999): Dir: Louis Morneau / Cast: Lou Diamond Phillips, Dina Meyer, Bob Gunton, Leon, Carlos Jacott: It is weird looking at the advertising poster where the title is upside down spelling "stab." Was this intentional or just an error by someone who flunked their eye examination? The first problem is that unless we are dealing with vampire bats then the title fails to give off any form of scary intimidation as say Anaconda where the thought of the animal is far more intimidating. Then we have a host of airheads that do nothing to render this scary. There is a meathead scientist who experiments with nature by creating a nasty breed of bat thus letting them loose to attack everything that moves. A bat expert is summoned to assist the local Sheriff. This leads to a rather cruel and disgusting climax. Director Louis Morneau does his best but the scientist featured here is a real joke. Bob Gunton plays the biggest idiot in the history of horror films. He out stretches his arms claiming to control the critters only to be slaughtered by a flock of them. Was he drunk or just on a serious amount of cocaine? Lou Diamond Phillips and Dina Meyer play characters of moron capacity, but Gunton's role takes the cake as the biggest bat sh*t piece of writing in this garbage. There are good shots of overhead flight but the film is pointless and should be buried in bat guano. Score: 2 / 10

bowmanblue Bats. Scary, huh? Well, not really. That's why the makers of this (imaginatively titled) film have made these ones bigger, stronger and smarter. So... now they're very scary! Well, actually no - they still look like rubber monsters, only bigger ones.The main trouble with Bats is that it tries to be serious. Seriously... a film about intelligent bats shouldn't be done with a straight face. If you ever watched Eight Legged Freaks and saw how they handled a plague of giant spiders, then that was probably how the film-makers should have done with Bats. As it is, they try to be genuinely horrific... and it doesn't work.Saying that, Bats isn't the worst film ever. The acting is surprisingly competent, which is credit to the actors who do a good job with the material provided.Bats isn't a bad film, it's just nothing particularly out of the ordinary. It's full of clichés and the bats have this strange habit of letting major characters get a good head start before trying to eat them (as opposed to the meaningless stream of extras who get munched straight away).If you can really be bothered to watch another 'monster-munching' movie, then you could do worse. It's just you could also do a hell of a lot better.

disdressed12 this is a strange little movie.i mean it's very low budget and mostly poorly acted,perhaps on purpose.i'd swear it was done tongue in cheek yet at the same time it seems to take itself seriously.it has some pretty cringe worthy dialogue to say the least,and the story is quite silly,in my mind.at the same time though,it is fairly fun,and some of the characters are interesting.it's no masterpiece.in fact far from it.but i did find it a passably entertaining diversion.if you keep you expectation level really low for this movie,you might get some enjoyment out of it.it wasted around 85 minutes or so(not counting the end credits.it's not memorable,and once it's over,you'll forget all about it.for me,Bats is a 4.5/10
