Directed by Louis Morneau. Written by John Logan. Starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Dina Meyer, Leon, Carlos Jacott, Bob Gunton, Oscar Rowland and Ned Bellamy.
Plot: genetically engineered bats start killing people in Texas.
When people start dying strange deaths in a small Texas town, they bring in the best bat expert, Dr. Sheila Casper (Meyer) to help the local Sheriff Emmett Kinsey (Phillips) and the CDC. But it turns out the CDC is the one responsible for the bats. They were experimenting on Indonesian bats to increase their intelligence, aggression and cooperation. As much as she hates it, Sheila hears this and understands that the bats now need to be caught and killed. Unfortunately, this won’t happen before lots more people die.
This movie isn’t scary, but it’s funny and people we like actually live. The cast is the best – we love Lou. It’s pretty realistic as far as steroidal bat movies go. It was just an awesome story. And I recommend it for a fun Halloween night.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
