Bats

(Columbia TriStar)

Louis Morneau's tepid tale begins when the bat population in a small Texas town goes berserk and starts to feast on the townsfolk. Disease Control officials call in a bat-ologist (Dina Meyer, the tough female footsoldier in Starship Troopers) to remedy the situation, but it turns out that the bats are the product of an über-engineering experiment gone awry. Meyer gets paired up with Lou Diamond Phillips's rough-and-tumble sheriff, and in the climactic scene, the duo attempt to save the town by wading through a river of bat feces. Now that's some scary shit.
