What could have been a great, low-budget shocker, is instead just a regular, boring movie. I appreciate low-budget films (heck, my 600+ attendances to "Evil Dead" probably funded Sam Raimi's house!), but this was just dreck. Actually, at the beginning of the film I had high hopes because I was very impressed with the dialog---these characters seemed believable, and the words they were saying were not clichéd (which is usually the downfall of most horror films). But, the film really never gains momentum, and never really pays off---definitely has a "made-for-TV" feel to it. If you want a schlocky killer bats movie, try "Bats"---much more entertaining!
