Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

kfo9494 This was a typical class 'B' picture but at least there was a mystery that kept the audience in the program to the very end. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead actually did a nice job with the light script they were given-- but for some reason the screen play writer threw in an aide to Ms Moorehead that ruined the entire process.Lenita Lane played Lizzie Allen the aide to Moorehead's character. It seemed that every time she had a speaking part she was trying to give a comical tone to the story but ended-up being an albatross around the neck of the movie. Her every line was like fingernails running across a chalkboard that made me shiver at each bewildering statement. Her acting ability ruined the entire experience.With that said, the mystery was a clever who-done-it tale that kept the viewer guessing to the very end. And with the weak script, I will give credit to the performances of all the actors, except for one. Too bad that one character was not killed off very early in the show. Where was the bat when you needed him?

Rainey Dawn I've gotta love these ladies! They are quite funny, tough and pretty smart. They are out to help crack the mystery of "the bat"! Who is "the bat"? You'll have to watch this interesting mystery-thriller to find the answer.This movie is worth watching if you love a good mystery with a few thrills involved. There's a bit of humor thrown into the mix for those that like a little comedy in their mysteries - just enough to spice things up a bit.Agnes Moorehead is about as tough as she can be as Cornelia van Gorder - I can tell you she's not "the bat" but she's out to get him. Moorehead's role as Gorder is almost as scary as "the bat" because she can be as mean as a bat in at times in this flick. Great performance from Agnes - which is one of the reasons this film is worth watching! Vincent Price- what can I say? He's got a quiet wickedness in this film that is, well, "Priceless" ;) Good film over all - makes a great late night flick! 8/10

Cristi_Ciopron Crane Wilbur's 'The Bat' is an unusual comedy ('don't you hear that awful noise out there?'), and I enjoyed its unwillingness to attempt the conventional suspense, and its dry, light style recalls sometimes that of Feuillade, if you wish, and of Hitchcock's TV, but mostly, increasingly, massively that of Ed Wood, unwilling to guide or patronize its public, it attempts something very different, with perhaps one of the most unflattering portrayals of a cereal killer ever, and the sense that all these events don't really matter that much, almost an Ed Wood soap opera …. The impression is that each actor did pretty much what he or she felt like; some of them were having fun, certainly the lead actress. As the movie nears its denouement, with that clueless, absurd cop, it becomes obvious that this is Ed Wood taken to the hilt. Possibly the 1st mystery movie where I guessed whodunit; and the whole subplot about the chauffeur was mere Ed Wood.

utgard14 Enjoyable old dark house movie. Agnes Moorehead stars as the mystery writer who becomes wrapped up in a real-life mystery. Sort of a precursor to Jessica Fletcher. She and her comic relief sidekick (Lenita Lane) find themselves targeted by the murderous Bat. You know, Moorehead was never known as a great beauty but I've always thought she was a handsome woman and she looks particularly lovely in this film. She was always a great actress and she's very good in this, a rare starring role for her.The cast is solid. In addition to Moorehead and Lane, there's Vincent Price and Gavin Gordon. Price is terrific as always, if a little subdued. Gordon is good but every time I see him in a role I am reminded of his Lord Byron from the Bride of Frankenstein prologue and I snicker a little. Also in the cast in a minor role (and her last) is Darla from The Little Rascals.It's a pretty basic story and based on a play that's been made for film a few other times. Most notably 1926 and 1930. Both of those were entertaining for different reasons. This version I've always had a soft spot for. I watch it again every couple of years or so. I recommend anybody who enjoys these types of old films give it a shot.
