Bats: The Awakening

With every scene nearing its end one just hopes that the bat arrives, but sadly it doesn't. Now that's the spell binding part in this movie and collectively this this movie can be called a spell binder. And finally the bat arrives and you suddenly lose base with the reality with what real bat looks like. And that's what I call it nerve wrecking!

Bad.....the writing, directing, acting, lighting, location, editing. The saving grace....the sound engineer did a reasonable effort. Don't be fooled by the description, it hardly fits.

You want to know why you've never heard of this film? Most likely because anyone ever associated with this film never worked again and expunged it from their resume. The title mix-up doesn't help either (is it Bats or is it Bats: The Awakening, does anyone care?). This film makes the Lou Diamond Phillips Bats movie look like an award winning film.

The acting in this film may be the worst I have ever seen and I've seen some stinkers. I love B films usually! The lead girl in this brings to mind Jessica Caufiel from Urban Legends: The Final Cut. She plays an actress playing a terrible actress and she screams so ridiculously. The actress from this Bats movie is like that but she's not pretending to be bad, she's just bad! And she screams through her nose or something. Just awful.

And don't get me started on the 'monster' (guy in a big bat suit). Just, wow! Or the lack of script and storyline.

One star for making me laugh at loud when the bat screeches and the guy's head splits open like a cuckoo clock. I mean, what was that?!

The description and tagline to not represent this film. I would love to watch the film in the description but sadly I watched Bats: The Awakening instead.

I agree with the other reviews about the shortcomings of this tepid little outing. But I had to add that ALL of these actors appear to be British and are speaking with an American accent that they cannot account for. The location is clearly a older country house in the U. K. Was this done under the misguided idea that it would make the film have wider appeal?
