Vampire Bats!
Oct. 30th, 2005 10:29 pmConfession: I have a thing for cheesy television disaster movies. The more preposterous the better, especially if it's also chock-full of guest stars. Generally aired right before sweeps weeks or during vacations and holidays, and always replacing normally scheduled programming, these gems act as placeholders for normal television -- but for me they're destination programming.
This evening's choice? Vampire Bats, starring Lucy Lawless. Ms. Lawless is revisiting her character from the equally cheesy Locusts, which came out sometime last spring (and of course I watched). It's got it all -- a bunch of hokum science, a bunch of plucky characters, and wildlife gone wild! My only complaint is that the plague of vampire bats is only affecting a small town instead of the entire world, but honestly? That's rather minor on my list.
And next week? Category 7: The End of the World. NAUGHTY WEATHER! And a GINORMOUS cast! YAY!
I am in disaster movie heaven.
