A
young couple are attacked and killed by
bats one night near a railroad area and
suddenly more and more people are being
devoured by them which sets around a dry
hot area in Arizona.
A group of scientist discover that these
bats are infected with a sort of a
disease to make them vicious killers and
tries to stop the contamination before it
spreads.
However, some of them are attacked and
killed. They also realise that the bats
are bigger than normal sized bats and
they are invading each of the small towns
there.
The team discovers that these bats were
in a mad scientists lab as he plans to
destroy humankind all around the world.
Although this was
a fun flick to watch the story didn't do
much as it was mainly about bats
attacking people in one town after
another.
It does explain why they were programmed
to kill though but that doesn't say alot
The acting is
fairly descent as we get to see Lou
Diamond Phillips back in action as a
southern sherrif with an interesting
accent.
Leon proves alot of energy with
his performance and is a real trooper
with his role
Bob Gunton is very interesting as an
evil mad scientist but his role is hard
to be taken seriously.
There are corpses
with their guts torn open.
Bats are blown apart.
Louis Morneau
is quite quite interesting with his
direction in the film as he coaches his
actors well but the bats attacking look
fake and look too cute to top it off.
He shows great scenery shots of the
mining and bat cave as well as the bats
flying by at night.
Graeme Revell does
nice composing for the film but at times
he makes it sound like an action film
than a horror film.
