Quentin Tarantino The New Beverly Maybe one of the reasons American Cinema in the seventies was so great is because we could expect to see Strother Martin four times a year. Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Chris Alexander Alexander On Film NIGHTWING isn't a great horror movie per se, but it's a pretty great movie full stop, one that deserves a much bigger cult fanbase. Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Dull, slow paced horror about vampire bats is forgettable.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/15/22 Full Review william s The 70's brought ,dogs,cats,rats,shark,ants,bears and now vampire bats to the generic Hollywood horror formula. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Somehow Arthur Hiller watched Kingdom Of The Spiders and got jealous, so he remade it with bats and Native Americans instead of tarantulas and Shatner. And sloooower. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a successful horror film...batty plotline. A shame, given the quality of the cast.
