10 Stupid Movies That Will Help You Conquer Fears

4. Bats (Bats)

You may not have heard of Bats, and that's none too surprising, given that it's essentially about one cheesy visual effect away from ending up on the SyFy Channel. Bats revolves around a small Texas town that is besieged by man-eating bats; they attack in a multitude of ways, the most amusing of which surely has to be someone having a bat land in their hair and promptly tear the top of their scalp off. It's a risible film from top to bottom in every imaginable way; the acting is atrocious (lead Lou Diamond Philips especially hams it up for the cheap seats), the direction is awful, and the quality of the CGI is so repugnant it may as well not exist - they'd be better off asking us to use our imaginations at this point. Here the bats will crawl into cars through exhaust pipes and generally just do things that bats never do, so sit down, laugh it up, and appreciate the absurdity of your fear.
