Bats 2

This one i think is better than the 3.5 rating the movie gets on here. Although it's nothing like the first one,, i think this one might be able to stand on it's own , had the movie had a bigger budget. The acting wasn't too horribly bad, the location was nice,, the plot takes place in a forest of all places,, a Delta team goes in there to find WMD's, and upon arriving there find these genetically altered bats, that have a taste for human blood, what a great way to keep people out who you don't want find you're WMD's, anyway the mission is to get the Dr. out of there and capture the weapons, or destroy them,, the Delta team has to fight a bunch of Chechyn rebels in Southern Russia in the forest, where of course all of the bats are,, this isn't bad if you're looking for something fun to watch,, but don't expect it to be like the first, or too deep in thought.

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.

It's called "Bats: Human Harvest", I'm pretty sure I can end the review there. You know it's going to be good for some marginal entertainment, you know it's going to be bad in any other field you can think of. What's up with the special effects in this one? CGI always looks laughable in low-budget movies but Jesus, this is just insane. The acting is universally terrible, but the Scottish chick who tries and completely fails to do a Russian accent ought to receive special mention. The weirdest thing about that though: this movie was shot in the former Soviet state of Bulgaria! How hard is it to find someone with a genuine Russian accent there? The logics behind a B-movie production, I guess I'll never get it. The comic relief scenes look like they've been written by Germans or something, most awful lines ever. Check out the hilarious interplay between the first victims, move over Laurel and Hardy. When a bunch of corpses are found in the forest, one guy reacts: "Who did this? Stalin's ghost?". Even Ed Wood would throw that in his wastebasket. The movie's filled with action though, it's not a total bore. If you can get over the fact that it sucks, you might even have fun with it.

Killer Bats are attacking a group of military soldiers and CIA agents in Chechnya who are seeking out a rogue doctor responsible for the mutant creatures.

We meet a group of Delta Force soldiers who are paired up with a Russian CIA agent named Katya. They are in an Chechnya forest trying to seek out the evil Dr. Walsh who has gone rogue and is hiding dangerous American weapons. While they look for Walsh, they are attacked by genetically enhanced killer bats who seem to want to kill any human in sight. Can they find the doctor who is responsible for all of this? Or will his killer bats finish them off?

The first Bats movie was painfully average, but at least watchable. Bats: Human Harvest is such a dull and non entertaining movie from the Sci-Fi Channel which has put out some real sequel stinkers such as Anaconda 3 and 4. This movie completely ignores the original movie making it a sequel in name only. The acting is terrible with not one redeemable actor or character to be found, just a lot of really bad fake Russian accents by a few of them.

The military theme and storyline in this is extremely dull and didn't need to be a thing when you have a movie about killer Bats. It almost takes away from any tension that could be found from average folks in a small town that aren't trained or equipped to kill. With the military as our main characters, it's just a lot of shooting from people that all act and look alike and that we don't care about.

I give Bats 2 only two stars for it's budget that was able to afford some quality shooting scenes and decent gore from the bat attacks. But overall this sequel is a dud. The biggest problem is that it failed to grab my attention like the first one did. There are no characters developed enough to care for, so all we are left with are CGI bats flying around killing random people. Not entertaining at all.

2/10

I recently watched Bats: Human Harvest (2007) on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of soldiers sent to South America to recover a terrorist hiding in caves. As they pursue the terrorist, they are attacked by genetically engineered killer bats. Can the soldiers fight off the bats and bring the terrorist to justice?

Directed by Jamie Dixon (Shadow Builder), the film stars David Chokachi (Baywatch), Michael Jace (The Replacements), Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead), Melissa De Sousa (Miss Congeniality), and Hristo Petkov (The Hitman's Bodyguard).

This movie falls short in almost every aspect. The premise is cliché, straightforward, and predictable. The acting, dialogue, and behavior during the circumstances feel inauthentic. Pollyanna McIntosh delivered the only performance that I enjoyed. The Russia vs. United States conversations were unimaginative and annoying, and the cinematography and overall feel of the movie have a made-for-television quality. I will say the CGI bats were surprisingly better than expected, and their kill scenes weren't bad, but there just wasn't enough of them.

In conclusion, Bats: Human Harvest is a poorly written and executed film that isn't worth your time. I would score this a 3/10 and strongly recommend skipping it.
