sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** With Prof. Arthur Fuller, Mark L.Taylor, genetically engineered bats escaping from their cages and with him ending up being their lunch it's suggested by Scottsville's second in command of its police department former L.A detective Ally Parks, Tracy Nelson, to cancel the towns annual Apple Blossom Festival. This is to avoid any more people ending up bitten to death by the killer bats until their all either killed or captured.The towns real estate mogul Carl Hart, Corbin Bernsen, is determined to keep the festival open in order to sell his cheaply made, and very overpriced, houses to a slew of out out of town clients who'll be coming to the festival. Hart being the person who pulls the strings in Scottsville then has Parks pressured by her boss Police Chief Sam Taylor, Michael Gregory, to falsify the evidence in Fuller's killer bat attack death and make it look like death by natural causes. All this doesn't go well with not only Parks but the towns new installed animal control inspector veterinarian Dr, John Winslow, Whip Hubley. Dr. Winslow is certain that there's a new breed of bats in the area that are twice and big and far more aggressive then the usual meek and inoffensive ones in and around Scottsville. It's these bats who we later find out are being used by someone unknown who has it in for Hart and all those, like Police Chief Taylor, who he's got on his payroll. And whoever this person is he's more then determined to wreck Hart's plans for using the Apple Blossoum Festival to sell unsuspecting home buyers, or suckers, his cheap houses that, the properties that their built on, he stole and finagled out of the vast majority of the good and hard working people of Scottsville!More of a revenge then a black comedy or horror film "Fangs" has the greedy and unethical villain in it Carl Hart-or Heartless-get his comeuppances both by being financially ruined as well as indited in a class action real estate fraud action suite! As well as for what Hart did in him driving a number of people, whom he defrauded out of their properties, into killing themselves.****SPOILER ALERT**** We do get a big surprise at the end of the movie in who's the person behind these killer bat attacks really is! He just happens to be the son of one of the people that Hart after stealing his home & farm then drove to commit suicide. Despite his very understandable actions, in punishing Hart for his father's death, the guy got so carried away with his beloved killer bats that he became more found of them, in trying to save them, then any family member or close friend of his! This lead to his incredibly insane actions at the end of the movie that proved that he was far from the cunning shrewed as well as explosives expert that we all thought-up until he completely cracked up-that he was.

lost-in-limbo A scientist is experimenting on genetically engineered bats that are controlled by a black device that sends out a signal for the bats to attack whoever is near that device when switched on. Though, the scientist is killed and now they've been released into the quiet town. One by one victims fall, but there's someone behind all this and is there a purpose for these deaths, with a dark figure lurking about after each attack. So now it's up to a new cop in town and veterinarian to figure out this mystery.Dear-oh-dear is what I got to say about this utterly incompetent piece of unimaginative garbage. How did this lousy film ever get made I was thinking throughout my whole viewing. This is definitely a poor man's version of "Bats" and why would you want to copy that dud of a film… who knows? The film is a complete mess and makes really no sense. Everything and I mean everything is executed in such an empty manner… well, maybe one or two few exceptions. You could say that there's some creative camera-work on show and the production valves were fair for a cheap-budget film. I was expecting maybe lousy rubber bats, but well there was rubber spider on a string, but the bats were actually CGI. The problem was that the effects were too artificial and because of that they looked incredibly ridiculous. This was supposed to be a horror movie, I think? The only horrific thing is that it got made. What we actually get is unintentionally humorous sequences and when it tries to be funny it's unbearably awful. Inept performances are achieved with implausibly stupid and irritating characters. These characters are your very stereotypical type. Dialogue is mindless tripe and rather inane that it just makes your groan especially at the gag lines that flow throughout the film and to end it off it's a tiresome story with too many plot holes and too many coincidences.The predictable story is mainly uninteresting and it leads to a far-fetched outcome. Too many unbelievably over-exaggerated situations occur and unconvincing characters pop up. Scenes just felt forced and rather stale. Also included are some irrelevant situations. The films finale is incredibly tense… uh, I mean laughable. The characters try to sound intelligent, but you just roll your eyes at mostly everything they said. The only thing I cared for was the dog; it had far more talent than the cast put to together. The violence is very tame with no blood on show and it mostly happens off screen. No suspense or atmosphere is built and it goes for cheap scares that you see coming a million miles before hand. The music score didn't add anything too the flow and came across like something out of a TV show. The direction lacked any sort of panache and conviction. It's nothing but lifeless and embarrassing film-making. It's not really worth the time to view.Overall, just steer clear of this bottom of the barrel drivel, but unless you love your incredibly awful or laughably dumb trash. Go right ahead.

HumanoidOfFlesh I watched this piece of horse crap yesterday and I was disappointed."Fangs" offers literally nothing new aside from a shocking similarity to another really bad horror flick "Bats".Corbin Bernsen is completely wasted as a local businessman,the rest of the cast is also horrible.There is absolutely no gore nor suspense,so fans of horror will be disappointed.The film is bland,generic and completely anemic.Avoid this bloodless piece of crap like the plague.1 out of 10.

chaplins_charlie I can truly say that this movie was a HUGE disappointment!! What the heck were the writer, producer, director, etc. all thinking while filming this movie?? Were they actually thinking this movie was going to get some where?? OMG, it was a major let down. A small quiet town is all of a sudden invaded by flesh eating bats!! They didn't even use any real bats. They were all obviously computerized and the rest of the effects was trash. The actors were all VERY lousy and seemed somewhat annoying and couldn't even act or weren't trying to be convincing!! Except for Tracy Nelson who was okay as the detective trying to lip lock with the town's animal doctor instead of solving crimes, but I must say I was really surprised at her for taking up such a crappy role in an even crappier movie. Why did she do it?? Her resume has to be some what affected by this low budget waste of time. Not that I'm putting Tracy down, no......I love her and that's why I'm shocked but at the same time dissappointed in her for wasting such great talent on a horrible movie. I've seen her other movies and she's way better than this. How do movies like this get past anything?? Guess some movie makers in Hollywood are falling asleep on the job and that is why movies like this get released on DVD/VHS. Thank god it wasn't released in theaters!! You'll see what I mean if you go out and rent it. But take my word...don't waste your time. You're better off staring at a wall!! TRUST ME!! TRULY HORRIBLE!!
