Are Vampire Bats Killing People?

Majestic Pictures produkoval film, který režíroval Frank R. Strayer. Strayer využívá především mis-en-scény, vytvořit atmosféru pro film. Film začíná v městské hlídač procházky lampy svítí ulicích. The watchman looks up in a tree, který je obýván netopýrů. A scream is heard from a nearby street causing the bats to scatter.

Strayer ořízne do kanceláře Bürgermeister Gustave Schoen, where town leaders are discussing the recent murders. Schoen, hrál Lionel Belmore, reads from a 1643 town record about the hanging of a man convicted of vampirism. The record also states all bats were caught and killed. The Chief of Police dismisses the record and tells them strongly they are looking for a human being not a vampire or bat.

Náčelník policie Karl Brettschnieder, played by Melvyn Douglas, je pomáhal v jeho vyšetřování Dr.. Otto Von Nieman, vylíčený Lionel Atwill. Von Nieman does not know what to think about the murders but believes people can transform into strange apparitions due to evil or illness. Von Niemana asistent, Ruth, played by Fay Wray, je Karlův milostný zájem. She would be King Kong’s love interest in the movie King Kong (1933) released in the same year as The Vampire Bat.

Měšťané podezřelý Herman Glieb, hrál Dwight Frye. Glieb keeps the bats as pets but Brettschnieder doubts Herman could hurt anyone. Glieb reinforces this impression, when he runs away screaming after the latest victim is found.

Despite it’s status as a “B” film, Strayer’s use of mise-en-scene to recreate the atmosphere of Dracula (1931) a Frankenstein (1931) makes this film a classic 1930s horror film. The acting of Lionel Atwill also helped. Film běží o 65 zápis.
