I wasn't really paying attention. Because the evil creatures are bats. And bats are lame.
Pretty much crap. Something about genetically engineered chameleon giant bats. Sounds like crap, eh? Because it was.
Looked like the good guys were using M16s, because they were Americans and all. But upon further review (and closeups) it seems like they were actually AKs built to look like M16s. Had the same bolt and charging handle on the side, and it looked like they used short AK mags. Guy took them out with a rocking motion, as in an AK, rather than a straight pull like an M16. And the guy's scope seems to have transmogrified into a flashlight now that its dark...
I'm guessing that this movie was filmed in the former Soviet Union or Eastern Europe somewhere, so I'd guess that AKs are a lot more common there than M16 variants. Seems like the 2 main places where these bad sci-fi movies are kept are Vancouver, and places like Bulgaria. But these movies are actually starting to be set in similar places to the filming locations, so the Russian-ish accents of the characters is not as strange.
I miss Vancouver. Far greater chance of a former Stargate actor showing up. However, this movie had Julian from The Shield in it. He got ass-ploded by a mine pretty early on, though. Probably did it for the pay-check...

Bats are actually really interesting, but not remotely frightening...
