50Perfect late-summer drive-in fare.
-
50In its own B-film, let's-make-them-jump-out-of-their-seats way, Bats is quite the hoot.
-
50A 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.
-
50Smoothly maneuvering within the limitations of genre conventions, Bats emerges as a vigorously paced and surprisingly satisfying piece of work.
-
The kind of rote schlocker that rarely makes it to big screens anymore.
-
40A straight-faced throwback to the glory days of mutant wildlife on the rampage.
-
40Overlong, hard look at the perils of tampering with Creation.
-
Unfortunately, it isn't until the final scene -- a spoof of the horror genre's false-ending cliché -- that Bats really takes wing.
-
38If 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.
-
38Really just an update of the kind of hapless grade-Z effort that once played the bottom half of a drive-in double bill.
-
35Everything in it is old bat.
-
30Pours on some of the most ridiculous dialogue heard in a feature film in a long time.
-
30So campy...may be good for a few laughs.
-
30So uninvolving it scarcely matters what it looks like.
-
25Violent and vapid, but the visual jolts may please horror buffs.
-
25Dumb cliches run amok.
-
25Not especially scary or funny, this lame comedy-thriller wastes a decent cast in a plodding tale.
-
25Falls apart immediately, then limps on for 45 minutes more.
-
25A dimwitted, fill-in-the-blanks horror opus that slanders a fine and useful mammal.
-
25A reassuring little cheeseball of a movie.
-
A work of hilarious, nearly Ed Wood-worthy ineptitude.
-
20Cause for fright in only one respect: the possibility that it could spawn sequels.
-
10An amazing compendium of dumb behavior, bad dialogue, and incoherent direction.
-
10Hopeless rip-off of Hitchcock's "The Birds."
-
10All I saw were unimpressive digital effects; artless, quick-cut abstracted gore; and a last-ditch attempt to evoke a visceral response by heaping the climactic scene with bat shit.
-
0It's relentlessly bad in a way that just makes those theatre seats plain uncomfortable.
