Are Vampire Bats Killing People?
The Vampire Bat (1933) olyan műfaj, hajlító film főszereplője Lionel Atwill. Látszólag, it is a horror film but is actually more of a mystery. It would fall into the “B” movie category, egy rövid film azt jelentette, hogy az előétel a fő film egy dupla számlát.
Majestic Pictures a filmet, amely rendezte Frank R. Vándor. Vándor elsősorban használ mis-en-scene hogy megteremtse a hangulatot a film. A film kezdődik a város őr séta a lámpa világít utcán. The watchman looks up in a tree, amely által lakott denevérek. A scream is heard from a nearby street causing the bats to scatter.
Vándor, majd levágja a hivatal Burgermeister Gustave Schoen, where town leaders are discussing the recent murders. Schoen, játszott 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.
A rendőrfőnök Karl Brettschnieder,played by Melvyn Douglas, segíti az ő vizsgálata Dr.. Otto von Nieman, ábrázolja 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 asszisztense, Ruth, played by Fay Wray, Karl szerelme. She would be King Kong’s love interest in the movie King Kong (1933) released in the same year as The Vampire Bat.
A városiak gyanúsított Herman Glieb, játszott 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) és Frankenstein (1931) makes this film a classic 1930s horror film. The acting of Lionel Atwill also helped. A film (affiliate link) fut a 65 jegyzőkönyv.
