*Review* The Devil Bat

[d3M0n]

Dr. Carruthers (played by) is pissed off at his employers, Heath and Morton, because they became filthy rich by selling a perfume that he made in his lab. He only received $10,000 when they made hundreds of thousands off of it. He get's back at them by electrically enlarging bats and sending them out to kill the Heath and Morton family by training them to detect a sent he made in his laboratory, which he tricks the family members into putting on before he releases the bat out side. Johnny Layton is a reporter who begins to work on this mysterious case. Murder after murder the clues seem to build and eventually the Devil Bat goes for the reporters themselves. At which time they have strong suspicions that Dr. Carruthers (Lugosi) is totally responsible.

Great feel to this movie! Excellent acting as always by Lugosi! Probably one of his best performances EVER! He just brings you into this film like no other actor can! Lugosi controlling a giant bat is a fitting role for one who is the original Count Dracula.

Everyone's acting is very good, the only down side is the Devil Bat looks a little fake at times. At which time they reassure you it's real by showing stock footage of a close up shot of a real bat

All in all it's a great horror movie that you'll wanna watch again and again.

[Drayton Sawyer]

This is an excellent movie. Actually one of his better movies for showing his acting range. During the Documentary on the Dracula DVD when they were commenting on how even when he was in bad movies he would act like it mattered and make sure to entertain you they were showing a scene from this movie.
I don't think that's fair at all. Because I think The Devil Bat is far from a bad movie. I haven't seen all of his movies. But I have seen a lot of bad movies and this isn't one of them. I thought it was a great story. And very entertaining.

[d3M0n]

Cool man! Im so glad you liked it so much! It's a personal fav of mine but I figured I just have weird taste... it's nice to know someone shares my love for something as cool as this movie!

Glad to know it's a piece of your collection and you get to enjoy it whenever you wanna.

[Drayton Sawyer]

Nope you don't have weird taste. You have excellent taste. This was a great movie. It really showed off Lugosi's range as an actor. When he was having his inner monologue a lot of actors would have trouble with acting through those scenes. But Lugosi pulled it off brilliantly. He really was an exceptional actor and it shows with films like this one.

[d3M0n]

I hope one day more people can see it. I wish it was on that website!

I saw The Devil Bat ages ago. Classic!!!

[fridayfan1979]

Been forever since I saw it as well.

[Drayton Sawyer]

You really need to get it Greg. It's more than worth rewatching to me. It really showed his acting ability.

[Rich]

This was a very good movie. I liked it a lot.

Although not the same kind of movie, I also like a movie called The Bat, staring Vincent Price. It was not a killer animal movie, it was actually a 1959 prototype for the pre-slasher movie.
