Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This made for TV film is about killer vampire bats but with an environmental twist.Some college students get drunk and drugged, end up being attacked supposedly by wild animals but the college biology professor Lucy Lawless reckons its mutated Vampire bats caused by toxic waste in the river.Lawless does her best with a lot of bland non entities. The CGI and special effects are below average and the action is boring with the bats being very selective as to who they attack.A poor and rather silly film.

I have no hesitation to give this a one out of 10. The last time I check, this movie scores a 4.7 on the IMDb; no doubt the work of maligners who abused the ratings system simply because of the presence of Lucy Lawless in the movie. This is crazy. If Lawless strapped on her Xena armour and started dishing out pain to the bats, I might have given this movie at least a 5. However, Lawless only got a broom as weapon in this movie. What did she do with the broom in the movie? She tripped the bad guy. Boo Hoo. Big Deal.There is no excitement in the movie and I felt like I am getting a lesson in environmental conservation from some greenies. The death scenes of victims are lame. One guy got bitten to death despite just an inch away from the swimming pool and he would have been safe if he just jumped into it. The way they killed the bats are lesson 1 in lame. There is twist in the end. Actually, not a twist but more like a crumple in the script which really doesn't connect to anything. The final scene (3 months later) is completely, utterly and totally unneeded. It looked like they just thought to get Lucy Lawless on screen again for the last time.Lame and terrible. Xena would not have been pleased.

Found this film very entertaining and horrifying with a real close up to a bats face and horrible teeth and angry looks. These bats had a devil looking way of dealing with humans and animals. It took quite a while before some of the local people and mostly college students discovered the fact that bats had taken on an aggressive attitude to loud, wild music and were mostly turned on to red hot blood flowing humans. Lucy Lawless,(Maddy Rierdon), gave an outstanding performance and showed off her great body form. There was lots of wild parties and plenty of young gals and guys getting really spaced out. One girl started foaming at the mouth in class and caused a great deal of gasps in the classroom. Great film and lots of fun to watch, especially the Vampire Bats!

If you are looking for a well done movie normally found on cable look no further. This movie was made for Haloween and they didn't have the biggest budget, AND was well written and acted. There where several minimal choosy scary scenes. There was fairly, thought out and great scenes that carried this movie in a singular directions This was more psychologically scary with minimal bloody cheap shot scenes, one quickly knows the major cause and evil are man drinking blood suckers i.e. the vampire bats, hence the movie name. The surprise are the few human blood suckers who dump things in the water they shouldn't! Sorry I can not tell you more just see the movie it is entertaining. Not a Oscar winner but worth your time. Anyway I can't remember any Oscar nominated scary movie let alone a winner. Enjoy, Brian bcpmd
