The Hands of Fate , it is funny just how inept they are. Let's face it, few people beyond Roger Corman can make self-mocking bad films so well. Bats is just as bad as its trailers made it look. Every minute detail about the film was poor. Plus it was a comedy trying to show how bad the genre is, but not working as a comedy or an action film.
Bats is just all-out bad.
The film is about some mutated bats that are spreading across the southwest, killing people and cars in their way. So far this year I'm at a division on the worst film of the year, trying to decide between Existo and Detroit Rock City , so this film is not the worst so far this year. Even though the film is free from worst film honors, that cannot be said for its lead actor. Lou Diamond Phillips gives a performance that even Edward Furlong would look down upon. Most of the cast walks through the screenplay, but it takes an awful actor like Phillips to try and look so bad.
