Review – The Vampire Bat

I should admit at the outset that I fell asleep twice during this movie, so if something really incredible happened during the bits I snoozed through, I missed it. The parts I saw were, well, obviously a little boring. Something or someone is sucking the blood out of the locals, and suspicion naturally falls on the neighborhood nutjob (Dwight Frye). But in a moral victory for bat-obsessed lunatics everywhere, the real culprit turns out to be a mad scientist who needs his victims’ blood to sustain an experimental hunk of goo. Fay Wray is her usual perky self, but beyond that this is more of a historical relic than a worthwhile viewing experience. Mildly amusing
