Bats has the look and feel of a film which really belongs in the straight to video category but it has just enough cheap thrills for genre buffs to give it a look.

Reviews for Bats
A dimwitted, fill-in-the-blanks horror opus that slanders a fine and useful mammal.
What an egregiously bad sack of guano this film is. It's so bad that Destination Films is being slapped by a lawsuit from the Bat Anti-Defamation League.
