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.
