Bats is a 1999 American horror film[1] directed by Louis Morneau, written by John Logan and produced by Bradley Jenkel and Louise Rosner. The film stars Lou Diamond Phillips, Dina Meyer, Bob Gunton and Leon. It was the first film released by Destination Films. A hostile swarm of genetically mutated bats terrorizes a local Texas town, and it is up to zoologist Sheila Casper, who teams up with town Sheriff Emmett Kimsey, to exterminate the creatures before they take more lives. The film grossed $10 million against a $5 million budget, and received generally negative reviews from critics.
