• "CHOSEN SURVIVORS" (1974, Roley) is about an eclectic mix of personalities who, without warning, are dropped deep underground by the government to survive the nuclear destruction of the planet. Unfortunately the shelter is regularly invaded by blood-thirsty bats.

    It's a pretty good film, definitely a good idea, but something about it prevented me from having a great time. The characters and plot don't quite gel very well. Decent enough gore for a TV film.

    It reminded me of John Carpenter's "THE THING" (1982) at times.
