The only interesting thing about this dud is the title. The film itself is not even remotely scary. Nick Mancuso is a deputy trying to figure out why bats are killing livestock, horses, etc...Kathryn Harrold is a bleeding heart doctor working at an Indian reservation & Stephen Macht is on hand too, though he adds nothing to the film. Nor does David Warner, fresh from THE OMEN and already on the road to accepting any role offered. What could have been a campy, nature-gone-wild fun-fest is instead one of the most boring "thrillers" imaginable. And why did Henry Mancini(!) provide the music score? Charles Rosher, who worked on a few Altman films, did the cinematography. Director Arthur Hiller & writer Steve Shagen simply forgot to include any scares.
