In an Indian reservation in Mexico, a series of mysterious deaths disturb the peace of the citizens. All the corpses are found drained of blood and bitten on the neck; a scientist attributes the crimes to a colony of bats, they will have to be found and destroyed. A horror in the middle, rather boring and predictable that will surely not go down in history. Little blood and somewhat "dated" special effects.
