Attack Of The Bat Monsters (1999)
Plot Summary:
Join schlock impresario Francis Gordon as his intrepid crew attempt to shoot an impromptu monster movie in the three days left over from the film they’ve just wrapped.

But ace restorer Mark Rance (who restored Tobe Hooper’s Eggshells) found it and has lovingly refurbished it under writer/director Kelly Greene’s supervision.
