Dr. John Beck, recently married, decides to take his wife, Cathy, spelunking in Carlsbad Cavern. While there, Dr. Beck, who specializes in bats, is bitten by a fruit bat. He is then, inexplicably, transformed into a vampire bat. While he escapes and seeks help from another doctor, it is clear the treatments are not working. In fact, they are aggravating his condition. Dr. Beck unwittingly goes on a killing spree, catching the attention of Sergeant Ward.

This genuinely might be the worst film I've ever seen, actually that still goes to birth of a nation but at least birth of a nation was well filmed. Not even the bats could redeem this

Mostly inoffensive and just mostly boring. The characters did have some... character, so that was nice. Overall a nice idea excited poorly cause of a low budget and an unrefined crew.
