Mutant Bats on the Rampage, August 27, 2004
This review is from: Fangs (DVD)
A professor at a college in a small town is working with bats. He has bred them to be stronger and meaner. Then they get out and kill him. A local cop, once of the LAPD, and the local vet/animal control officer, worry about the loose bats and soon have their fears confirmed as the bats begin to attack others.
The hunt for the bats goes on while the body count rises. The town's apple festival is in jeopardy but it won't be shut down because of the necessary income it brings in. But our heroes start to notice a pattern in the attacks and learn more about how to disrupt or scare bats. In the end, we learn the truth of what is going on and see the final stand between heroes and bats.
A pretty typical story that follows the Jaws formula but adds a new twist on the animals' behavior. This is not just nature lashing out. Animal attacks, politics, and greed all come together in this story. Check it out.

TOOTHLESS HORROR, BUT GREAT COMEDY, December 25, 2003
This review is from: Fangs (DVD)
FANGS is not what you would expect; instead of a gory "mutated bat goes mad" movie, you get a breezy romantic comedy featuring Whip Hubley and Tracy Nelson working their way through an awkward relationship. Corbin Bernsen is around as the nasty villain; Michael Gregory (long ago from "General Hospital") is around for nasty co-villain; the real culprit is identifiable, and the bats are poorly effected creatures. But there's a lot of laughs and some fun comic scenarios to merit it a view; not at all a terrible movie, enjoyable, but nothing to scare Bram Stoker fans. Merry Christmas!

Fangs don't bite, October 23, 2007
This review is from: Fangs (DVD)
"Fangs" is a borderline movie,attempting to be a horror movie,but trying its hand at comedy at the same time. The mousy detective and the handsome animal control officer (with a ditzy teenaged daughter) try to solve the mystery of killer bats and save the Apple Blossom Festival. Corbin Bernsen stars as a sleazy real estate developer.
"Fangs" has its funny moments. The bats look toothless,and it isn't gory. In trying comedy and horror,it fails (spectacularly) at both.
