October Horror Movie Challenge - Bats (1999)


Synopsis: A bat expert and a local sheriff team up to wipe out a group of genetically augmented bats in a small Texas town. The bats have the ability to transform normal bats and unless the heroes can stop them the killer bats will spread throughout the world.

The Good: I like Lou Diamond Philips and he did a nice job as the sheriff. Honestly, I like the cast in general. The acting isn't Oscar-caliber, but it's not the worst I've seen. They protagonists are generally likable and one is from Ohio (which gives them points in my book).

The Bad: This movie isn't scary at all and the effects are cheesy. You're not going to be scared by this at all. 


Final Thoughts: I sort of remember watching this when I was in high school. I picked it up for a few bucks and Big Lots a few years ago and finally decided to watch it again. This movie is not great by any means. I wouldn't even say it's good. However, if you want some campy creature feature stuff, you could do much worse. 

In Your Game:  You know you want to add some mutant bats to your game.
