The Bat

Great old movie at an awesome price. Arrived on time.

Excellent old blk/wht. movie. Huge fan of Agnes Moore head, and Vincent Price. Worth watching if you enjoy old classics.

Great campy, murder mystery, played straight starring the great Agnes Moorehead and the equally great Vincent Price. A murderous masked villain known as The Bat lurks around a big spooky mansion rented by Moorehead, who plays a mystery writer. Price and a host of other suspicious characters are prime candidates who could be The Bat. Great twangy jazz theme music. Not to be taken seriously, just have fun with it. That's the secret to enjoying films like this. The new Film Chest DVD release has no extras but the transfer is just fine, even better than the GoodTimes DVD release. The cover art is from the original poster and is a welcome addition. Recommended for fans of campy 50s films.

Great Movie!, Watched it with my mom and we loved it. Great movie set. Great writing and great acting. Loved the ending!

Film Detective releases on Blu-ray this old dark house, crazed and masked killer on the loose type of mystery from 1959 starring Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, and Gavin Gordon, looking quite nice in HD, an upgrade over the Film Chest 2013 barebones DVD, now including an audio commentary from film scholar Jason A. Nay, a featurette about the director and screenwriter Crane Wilbur, and also nine radio dramas featuring Vincent Price, primarily from the series "Suspense" and "Escape" that are worth a listen, some considered classics like 'Fugue in C Minor' and 'Three Skeleton Key'. Film itself is no classic but does have a good cast and setting, just don't think about plot logic too much....

Thoroughly enjoyable old dark house murder mystery with an excellent commentary option and a handful of old-time radio shows, horror and mystery, starring Vincent Price. Agnes Moorehead is absolutely wonderful as a crusty, middle-aged murder mystery writer. I would loved to have seen a series based on her character. BTW: Poster is highly misleading, i.e., no vampire, killer bat, etc., only an every day murderous psychopath.

This is the movie I enjoyed it’s not one of my favorites but it’s entertaining and that’s the main part of it is that it is entertaining and I do enjoy the two leads, Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price, Vincent Price, who has been in so many horror, movies, and Agnes Moorehead, who is known for being in e Endora on bewitched, shows her talent don’t expect a lot, but try not to be disappointed either

I picked up this dvd on a whim and I am sure glad I purchased it. This is the first Ralph and Rick resent dvd (burned as ordered) but you cannot tell it. The riffs come lightning fast from this pair who have already seemed to generate great chemistry. The pace of their delivery is pretty spot on, they do occasionally talk over each other and the audio does need to be turned up a bit to hear everything. That may ruin some people's opinion of it, but it never took away from the jokes if I had to rewind a bit to catch it all. I believe this was made in 2010 so the jokes are fairly current and topical, more of the tradition of Rifftrax than say early MST3K. I would have to rate the content at a high PG or low PG-13. No vulgar language but a few references to female anatomy and suggestive comments of sexual orientation, I can't imagine anyone being offended by the good natured ribbing. The production is professional and the extras are quite extensive, you can even watch the movie with the original audio (but why would you?). After all is said and done I highly recommend this dvd for anyone who is a fan of Rifftrax, Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Cinematic Titanic.
