Watch Bats (2021) online

Right, well the track record of creature features with bats haven't really been the most successful, famous or entertaining. Yet, there is something alluring to me with these creature feature movies, so of course I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "Bats: The Awakening" from writer Scott Jeffrey.

But wow, this movie was just altogether bad. The storyline was rather simplistic, to the point where I was starting to wonder if writer Scott Jeffrey actually had written anything, or if it was just left up to directors Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews to make things up as they went along.

The acting in the movie was adequate enough. Nothing outstanding, mind you. But the actors and actresses were doing okay enough jobs with their given roles and characters, taking into consideration the lack of a well-written script and storyline.

Then there was the bat creature. Well, no, just no. It didn't work on any level. It was so painstakingly clear that it was just a guy in a hairy costume, wearing oversized latex hands and a dubious latex mask with really poor quality fake fangs glued on to it. I was baffled by the sheer level of crappy craftsmanship that had gone into constructing that costume. It was such an eyesore, and it made it utterly impossible to take that creature seriously as a dangerous creature of the night.

You might want to do yourself a favor and stay well clear of the 2021 movie "Bats: The Awakening" and instead opt to sit down to watch the likes of the 1999 movie "Bats" or the 2005 movie "Vampire Bats".

My rating of the 2021 movie "Bats: The Awakening" lands on a mere two out of ten stars. This was definitely not an outstanding creature feature, nor an impressive addition to the horror genre.
