Watch Chosen Survivors For Free
Chosen Survivors
A group of diverse individuals are suddenly taken from their homes and flown via helicopter to a futuristic bomb shelter in the desert, nearly two miles below the surface of the Earth. There they learn that a nuclear holocaust is taking place and that they've been "chosen" by computer to survive in the shelter in order to continue the human race. The shelter is designed to allow the people to exist underground comfortably for years, but they are faced with a threat nobody could have predicted: a colony of thousands of bloodthirsty vampire bats finds a way into the shelter and launches a series of vicious attacks where they claim the humans one by one.

That was an excellent one.
Fresh and Exciting
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Hours before a nuclear attack, couples that have been matched by computer are taken to an underground shelter so they can eventually repopulate the Earth. A great plan, if it wasn't for the vampire bats!Starring Jackie Cooper (Superman), Richard Jaeckel (Grizzly), Bradford Dillman (The Swarm), Star Trek: TNG's Diana Muldaur, Lincoln Kilpatrick (who has an amazing scene where he tries to find a way out by climbing up and out) and more, this post-apocalyptic film is very 70s. There's a lot of talking, not much action and plenty of in-fighting.Can what's left of humanity get along long enough to make some post-bomb babies? Will the bats bite their butts? Will you be offended when a rape scene turns into a seduction because this is the 70's? These questions and more will all be answered.
Wow i was expecting better from this movie, but i guess too much after seeing foods of the god.I was able to watch the movie on youtube, its not bad but the bats are regular bats nothing more and the movie is slow moving so nothing much happens.
My uncle took me and my cousins to see this movie when I was around 10 or 11 (1970's) and it's always stuck with me, although I couldn't remember the title. What I thought I remembered was a group of people in outer space (seems they're actually in an underground bomb shelter) and, oh yes, BATS. LOTS of vampire bats, to be specific! I almost was beginning to believe I had fabricated the entire thing in my mind, but I can so vividly remember the movie theater in Asbury Park, NJ and going with my uncle and cousins (he also took us to see Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars...). Loved going to the movies with him, needless to say, but this particular movie especially haunted my nightmares. So glad to finally discover the correct title and the IMDb reviews. Looks like the BluRay is going to be released THIS WEEK (Oct 4, 2016)! What amazing serendipity. Can't wait to revisit this horror (sci-fi?) flick from my youth. Interesting to read so many posts by others who had seen this as kids and who remembered it vividly.
A group of people are selected to take part in an experiment to see how mankind would fare after a nuclear holocaust and are placed without there consent in a bunker thousands of feet below ground. They disturb a group of bats living in the cave systems around them and they begin to attack the trapped humans. This is a great premise for this film but i found it so slow moving with far to many talking scenes. In the whole first hour only two people die of the bat attack and only one of them do we see die on screen. The remaining film concerns one of the group trying to climb to safety who falls to his death and releases the bats to attack one final time killing all but 5 of the group in one big attack scene. All in all a good premise for a film but not as good as it could have been.
