Are Vampire Bats Killing People?
Vampire Bat (1933) ir genre bending film (filiāli saite) starring Lionel Atwill. Šķietami, it is a horror film but is actually more of a mystery. It would fall into the “B” movie category, īsfilma domāts kā uzkoda par galveno filmu par dubultu rēķinu.
Majestic Pictures ražo filmu, kuru vadīja Frank R. STRAYER. STRAYER galvenokārt izmanto mis-en-ainas, lai radītu atmosfēru filmu. Filma sākas ar pilsētas sargs pastaigas pa lampu lit ielas. The watchman looks up in a tree, kas apdzīvo sikspārņiem. A scream is heard from a nearby street causing the bats to scatter.

Tad STRAYER sagriež uz biroju Burgermeister Gustave Schoen, where town leaders are discussing the recent murders. Schoen, spēlē 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.

Policijas Karl Brettschnieder Chief, played by Melvyn Douglas, tiek atbalstītas savā izmeklēšanā Dr. Otto Von NIEMAN, attēlotie 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 palīgs, Ruth, played by Fay Wray, ir Kārļa mīlestība intereses. She would be King Kong’s love interest in the movie King Kong (1933) released in the same year as Vampire Bat.
Pilsētas iedzīvotāji aizdomās Herman Glieb, spēlē 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” filma, Strayer’s use of mise-en-scene to recreate the atmosphere of Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931) makes this film a classic 1930s horror film. The acting of Lionel Atwill also helped. Filma sākas apmēram 65 protokols.
