40 / 100

60	Washington Post Tom Shales Even if many elements of "Vampire Bats" seem, to say the least, familiar, director Eric Bross and writer Doug Prochilo still deliver some darn good frights.
50	New York Post Linda Stasi The person who steals every scene is Brett Butler as the sister-in-law.
50	Hollywood Reporter Marilyn Moss "Vampire Bats" doesn't exactly have the makings of classic horror (or even Halloween) fare, but it's decent enough for a spell or two.
42	Entertainment Weekly Mandi Bierly We appreciate CBS embracing the spooky spirit... but they really should leave the camp-out to the Sci Fi Channel, which isn't afraid to fully commit. [28 Oct 2005, p.80]
38	People Weekly Tom Gliatto Silly. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]
20	Variety Brian Lowry Mostly an excuse for coeds to strip down to their underwear.
10	Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen Just as awful as "Locusts" was.
