Bats

A 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.

The kind of rote schlocker that rarely makes it to big screens anymore.

If 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.

So uninvolving it scarcely matters what it looks like.

A reassuring little cheeseball of a movie.

Cause for fright in only one respect: the possibility that it could spawn sequels.

It's relentlessly bad in a way that just makes those theatre seats plain uncomfortable.
