The production values of this movie aren't bad (the bat attacks are obviously animated but come off okay) but otherwise this plays like a parody of horror films with some miscast talent. Tracey Nelson plays a detective who teams up with animal control officer Whip Hubley to investigate bat attacks in a small town. Nelson, though having played investigative types before, comes across as a strange choice to play a bat hunter, though she does a good job. Hubley and the two kids aren't bad but it seems like no one takes this movie seriously. The plot twists involving the search for the person behind the bat attacks is entertaining, but overall Fangs isn't the most cerebral film ever produced. However, this is a movie worth watching as a mild diversion from serious horror films, or if you like Tracey Nelson (or really, really like bats).
