3.0 out of 5 stars The Bat has great cast, great atmosphere., October 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bat (DVD)

The Bat is a remake of the 1930 film "The Bat Whispers"--which itself was a remake of the silent film "The Bat". This version has the benefit of Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead leading the cast. Price is a writer who comes to spend the summer at a spooky mansion. A hooded, steel-clawed killer known only as The Bat is terrorizing the locals at the same time. Director Crane Wilbur builds great atmosphere and fans of the genre won't be dissappointed. The DVD is full-frame, with good but not spectacular audio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bat-Scratch Fever..., March 10, 2005

This review is from: The Bat (DVD)

Agnes Moorehead carries the whole show as a mystery writer who rents out a spooky mansion. With her wisdom and wit, she must figure out the secret behind "The Bat", that dastardly devil w/ no face, no name, and claws of razor-sharp steel! He's after some loot hidden in the house, but where? Darla Hood (yep, from the little rascals) is all grown up and ready to meet her doom at the hands of the shadowy killer! Others will also perish, as the bat's reign of terror continues! Vincent Price is along for the fun with loads of charm and smirks! THE BAT is a good addition to any thriller-diller collection...

1.0 out of 5 stars Baaad dvd transfer!!!, October 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bat (DVD)

I thought this movie was pretty good.Vincent Price was great as usual and Agnes Moorehead gave a good performance as well.The reason I gave this movie 1 star is that the dvd transfer is bad.It's so bad that you can hardly enjoy the movie because your attention is on the bad picture quality of this dvd.I do not recommend this dvd.I just ordered another copy of this movie from amazon.It's from a different distributer(Anchor Bay Entertainment).It's more expensive but I figured I'd give it a shot.
