Fangs (2002)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

If you look at this page you already know that Fangs is a quite lame movie. So instead of a review I want to give you some logical errors that may upset people while watching this movie because they are so obvious. The bats are sreaming all the time. But a human will never hear a bat screaming with his own ears. - This little village in which the story takes place has it's own university?! - The professor has only one enemy so why does he kill all the other people? - The scene with the shredded aluminum cans (mentioned by the IMDb). This is not possible. - I guess you can't find the bats using the antennas at the end of the movie (at least not alone but they hast had _only_ these antennas)!Beside this idiotic mistakes (probably they also had some spelling errors in the script - but that's another story) they mentioned every minute this apple-blossom festival. So you think that's the biggest party in this forgotten village (with university...) but when it finally comes to the scene we see that they even couldn't afford a small crowd to fill the room. When the bats attack the people had to run circles to show some action!1/10 ... Dirt

If there`s one good thing about genetic engineering it is that it allows film makers to have a ready made plot to kick start a movie . Alas many film makers use genetic engineering to kick start not very good movies.I could have put the boot into FANGS , in fact I could have kicked its teeth in , but I often get too serious about reviewing films I didn`t like much , and I`m in a fairly nice mood , and FANGS is fairly inoffensive and is not to be taken seriously from the opening sequence with the teenage bimbo lab assistants all the way through to the silly protection against bat attack this is a goofy dumb movie , but at least it`s a well lit goofy dumb movie that doesn`t use gore for gore`s sake

The only thing that FANGS seems to have been made to do is make the theatrically released BATS look like it deserved every Oscar award that is given out. I was actually happy to own BATS after seeing this, because after I was done watching this film, I watched BATS just to let myself know that not all films suck this badly.The first thing that really lets you know this film will be major low-budget and hokey all the way is that it stars Corbin Bersen. A good actor, but then again, he did star in the highly terrible, direct-to-video flicks RAPTOR and KILLER INSTINCT. So, forgetting Bersen, there is the rest of the cast. Whip Hubley (brother of Season Hubley) isn't all to bad, but the main thing that kills FANGS is sloppy direction and a screenwriter who tried all too hard to try to make this film funny. Basically, he wanted to try to make FANGS into a BATS, that had the humor that David E. Kelley gave LAKE PLACID. But, it fails miserably here and most of the 'humor' just sounds plain retarded. It's sad too. It always upsets me when somebody says something that you know was meant to be funny and it just isn't.Having not been given very many killer bat flicks in the past (the only two I can think of would be BATS and an early 70s film called NIGHTWING) so I guess FANGS does well considering that only two other films of this caliber have come before it. But, it borrows heavily from them and end is almost laughable. Like other users said, it seems like you were almost expecting the line "The killer is really..." somewhere in there. The thing that saves FANGS from being a complete atrocity is the fact that the special effects were not *that* terrible (but still, you could obviously tell the bats were computer designed) and the fact that there are a few sarcastic lines that are given by performances that are not all that bad. But, the film is loaded with mindless cliches and has dialogue and situations that are just n-o-t belivable.FANGS: 2/5.

If this serves any other purpose than to make the similarly themed Bats look like a cinematic masterpiece in comparison,then it escapes me. A horde of mutated bats are deliberately released into a small California community,which is under the sway of an unscrupulous property developer,who aided by his henchmen -a corrupt police chief and a dim,strongarm man -is intent on building a tacky housing development in the area and is not too scrupulous as to methods Ranged against him and the pesky critters are a lady cop ,the town animal control officer ,his daughter and her stoner boyfriend. The dialogue seeks for the witty and achieves only flippancy.The acting is dire and special effects wobbly. Miss-unless you like crud.
