SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Prismark10 This made for TV film is about killer vampire bats but with an environmental twist.Some college students get drunk and drugged, end up being attacked supposedly by wild animals but the college biology professor Lucy Lawless reckons its mutated Vampire bats caused by toxic waste in the river.Lawless does her best with a lot of bland non entities. The CGI and special effects are below average and the action is boring with the bats being very selective as to who they attack.A poor and rather silly film.

Leofwine_draca I'm a huge fan of creature features, even the dodgy ones in which CGI monsters run amok and tear overacting cast members to pieces. Hell, I got a kick out of ATTACK OF THE SABRETOOTH and AZTEC REX, which is saying something. But VAMPIRE BATS, a sort-of modern-day version of NIGHTWING, turns out to be a deathly dull and completely senseless addition to the genre.Originally shown on Halloween in 2005, this is a short TV movie which nevertheless feels like it goes on for ages. The entire production is padded with dull SCOOBY DOO-style scenes of the characters creeping around and investigating a series of mysterious murders. It's all routine and predictable as you'd expect. Oddly, this is a sequel, a follow up to LOCUSTS which also starred Lucy Lawless.Needless to say that the acting is extremely bad, even from Lawless who would later go on to enjoy a mini career renaissance with her great role in the gory TV show SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND. The special effects are a mix of silly CGI bat swarms and some slightly more convincing rubber models. One of the worst things about it is that there's no gore to speak of, no decent attack scenes a la THE BIRDS, just mindless, mind-numbing plotting with no wit, style or imagination. Give it a miss.

happyangie99 BAD, BAD, BAD ! I can't stress this enough. I know t.v. movies suck, but this... The actors who played the students should look for work in a paint factory, cause watching that dry would have been a much better use of my time. This could have had something, but it was handled poorly. Even the lead actors were very boring. It felt way to padded. It could have run at about one hour. That to would have been to long. I don't know why Xena would get hooked up in this. The ending was so bad, even a 5 year old could guess what was going to happen. I was sort of looking forward to this, but was let down, way down. Next Halloween leave this in the guano where it belongs and choose something with some real bite !

bcpmd If you are looking for a well done movie normally found on cable look no further. This movie was made for Haloween and they didn't have the biggest budget, AND was well written and acted. There where several minimal choosy scary scenes. There was fairly, thought out and great scenes that carried this movie in a singular directions This was more psychologically scary with minimal bloody cheap shot scenes, one quickly knows the major cause and evil are man drinking blood suckers i.e. the vampire bats, hence the movie name. The surprise are the few human blood suckers who dump things in the water they shouldn't! Sorry I can not tell you more just see the movie it is entertaining. Not a Oscar winner but worth your time. Anyway I can't remember any Oscar nominated scary movie let alone a winner. Enjoy, Brian bcpmd
