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.
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.
25
Not especially scary or funny, this lame comedy-thriller wastes a decent cast in a plodding tale.
35
Everything in it is old bat.
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.
25
A dimwitted, fill-in-the-blanks horror opus that slanders a fine and useful mammal.
50
In its own B-film, let's-make-them-jump-out-of-their-seats way, Bats is quite the hoot.
