Bats (film)

Bats (stylized as a backward word STAB) is a 1999 American adventure-horror film, directed by Louis Morneau and produced by Bradley Jenkel and Louise Rosner. The film stars Lou Diamond Phillips, Dina Meyer, Bob Gunton and Leon. It was the first film released by Destination Films.

The plot concerns a hostile swarm of genetically mutated bats who terrorize a local Texas town and it is up to zoologist Sheila Casper, who teams up with town Sheriff Emmett Kimsey, to exterminate the creatures before they take more lives. The film was panned by several critics for its campiness, subpar special effects, underdeveloped characters, and unfrightening tone. However, the film has developed somewhat of a cult following.

Despite all the negative acclaim, the film was a moderate box office success, recouping nearly double its budget.
