Well, if you are looking for an interesting creature feature, then the 2007 movie titled "Bats: Human Harvest" is not one I would or could recommend that you sit down to watch.
This movie was fairly pointless and lacked a properly interesting storyline. Sure, it was straight forward and easy to follow, but it was just a very boring and generic storyline that offered nothing much of any interest throughout the course of the entire movie. In fact, it did feel sort of unnecessary, as the 1999 movie "Bats" fairly much did everything better than this 2007 movie.
I am sure that writers Chris Denk and Brett Merryman came up with something that seemed good on paper. But it just translated poorly onto the screen. And I can't say that director Jamie Dixon landed a homerun with this movie.
The CGI animated bats were sort of terrible to look at. They definitely had the shape right, but it was just poor CGI. And the poor CGI failed to deliver something believable, which is crucial for a creature feature.
The acting in the movie was, well, let's just say that with a script and storyline as they had to work with in "Bats: Human Harvest", then they delivered adequately enough. Mind you, you will not be blown away by any award-winning performances.
"Bats: Human Harvest" was a boring movie, yet I managed to sit through it. Sure, I started to do something else whilst watching it, but I got through it. This movie failed to impress or properly entertain me.
I am rating "Bats: Human Harvest" a generous two out of ten stars. While I got through the entire movie, this is by no means a movie I will ever return to watch a second time.
