A sleek rip-off of "The Birds" that is fast, furious, and watchable, but lacking in the two elements most essential to a silly screamfest like this: scares and laughs.

In its own B-film, let's-make-them-jump-out-of-their-seats way, Bats is quite the hoot.
38
Really just an update of the kind of hapless grade-Z effort that once played the bottom half of a drive-in double bill.
38
If you are unlucky enough to stray into the presence of Bats, I strongly recommend you follow their wise example. Hang from the ceiling and go to sleep.
35
Everything in it is old bat.
25
Not especially scary or funny, this lame comedy-thriller wastes a decent cast in a plodding tale.
25
A dimwitted, fill-in-the-blanks horror opus that slanders a fine and useful mammal.
