Bats (1999) *
Directed by Louis Morneau. With Lou Diamond Phillips and Dina Meyer. An absolutely awful, painfully unpleasant film about giant bats feasting on human flesh and trying to take over the world. Apparently, some crazy scientists have enlarged their brains hoping to use them in some ghastly medical experiments. The makers of Deep Blue Sea should sue for plagiarism, and so should the estate of late Alfred Hitchcock, because many scenes were shamelessly stolen from The Birds.
