Are Vampire Bats Killing People?

Majestic Slike producirao film, koji je režirao Frank R. Strayer. Strayer uglavnom koristi mis-en-scene stvoriti atmosferu za film. Film počinje s gradskog čuvara hoda kroz lampa svijetli ulicama. The watchman looks up in a tree, koji obitavaju šišmiši. A scream is heard from a nearby street causing the bats to scatter.

Strayer tada reže na ured Burgermeister Gustave Schoen, where town leaders are discussing the recent murders. Schoen, igrao 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.

Načelnik Policijske Karl Brettschnieder, played by Melvyn Douglas, je pomagao u njegovom istragom Dr. Otto von Nieman, portretirao 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 Nieman pomoćnik, Ruth, played by Fay Wray, Karl je ljubav interes. She would be King Kong’s love interest in the movie King Kong (1933) released in the same year as Vampire Bat.

Mještani osumnjičeni Herman Glieb, igrao 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) i Frankenstein (1931) makes this film a classic 1930s horror film. The acting of Lionel Atwill also helped. Film traje oko 65 zapisnik.
