Amazon.co.uk Review
Bats is for everyone who misses those old Roger Corman monster movies, only it has animatronics and computer effects instead of papier-mâché. The title pretty much sums up the plot: crazed bats are running amok, disembowelling people and cattle. Only beautiful wildlife zoologist Dina Meyer and stalwart sheriff Lou Diamond Phillips can save the day. Let's be frank: the scenario is ludicrous, the dialogue awful, the special effects unconvincing--try as they might, the bats just aren't that scary--but what does it matter? The movie rips along effectively. There's always a bat attack just around the corner and the director makes liberal use of all kinds of editing and camera effects, including adistorted bat-cam point of view that makes no sense at all but is pretty entertaining. Various scenes imitate Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, but lack even a hint of that film's eerie precision. The actors play it straight without trying to be particularly serious. All in all, Bats knows what it is--trash-horror--and accomplishes its ends with good humour. Not quite up to the standard of Tremors (still the definitive trash-horror flick), but better than most. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun B-movie cheese, 19 Feb 2003
It's little more than a tongue in cheek "homage" to Hitchcock's The Birds (but with far, far less of a plot), but Bats will easily help you pass 90 minutes with a bit of no-brainer fun. The plot's strictly by the numbers, lifting ideas from the likes of the Alien films and just about any given "nature runs amock" flick you care to mention, as the good guys try their hardest to wipe out an invasion of virus ridden bats that have taken a liking to the taste of human flesh.
The real stars are the cgi and animatronic bats - seriously ugly little guys and thoroughly convincing with it. The actors do their best throwing out cornball dialogue in true B-movie style, and at no point do you ever feel the need to take the film seriously. It's a total no-br
