Review of Bats

Bats (1999)
5/10
This is virtually a remake of Nightwing 1979

I kept thinking boy does this look familiar. Nick Mancuso was the sheriff, killer bats, carnivore bats. I think this was done one time too many.

The main difference is Indian medicine man and magic versus a crazy scientist. The end result is virtually a remake.

They both are set in the desert Southwest with a sheriff that is Hispanic or not white.

Watch the original movie, it is better. Nick Mancuso was more believable as a rural Southwestern sheriff. Lou Diamond Phillips is usually good, he just seemed like his heart was not in this movie. I think that the Indian medicine man was a more interesting plot twist. The government experiment that went horribly wrong was lame.

Just my humble opinion, Edouard in Phoenix
