Batsreviewed by Brian "The Naked Gun" Felts
So, the story goes, these bats are created by a mad scientist for the military, and they
get out of control and start killing people. The role of the mad scientist is played by Bob Gunton,
whose best known role is as the warden in "The Shawshank Redemption." The only other actor, or in this
case actress, who is at all familiar is Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers) as the Doctor who believes bats
are our friends.
Let's give special recognition to future port-o-potty inspector, Louis Morneau, who directed this movie as
well as other such classics as "The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting," "Soldier Boyz" and of course the classic
"Carnosaur 2." Please, please do not let this man direct another movie again.
The award for What-the-F**k-Were-You-On-When-You-Wrote-This goes to writer John Logan who has done
such movies as "The Aviator" and "Gladiator." Boy, I guess you can start off as a no talent hack
and create something good, even great. So, here's to all of the screenwriters out there who are
making B-Rated movies; there is hope.
I am sure we will all be reminded of this movie when we see Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba) in the Center
Square on TV's "Hollywood Squares," sitting next to Jim J. Bullock. Until then, let's hope space
aliens come and delete this horrible movie from our memories.
