By Zaroff (53 reviews) from Hay on Wye , 10 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
This print of The Bat is so utterly washed & bleached with white luminescence that it begs belief. Faces of many people in a great many scenes are mouthless, expressionless in being badly rendered on the film transfer.
Avoid...as this shining spectacle can be painful on the eye. The Bat was never a masterpiece, an old bit of hokum, but no black & white film deserves such a burning, indigestible showing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good late 50's who-dun-it
By a customer from West Sussex, England , 18 Oct 2007This is actually quite a good fifties who-dun-it. The pace is a bit slow but if you stick with it it's worth spending the 80 minutes to see the story unfold. Vincent Price gives a good performance as ever but it's Agnes Moorehead who drives the story along. As other reviewers have mentioned the video transfer is not good on this dvd.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good Classic
By Richard Wagner from London , 10 Dec 2006Vincent Price is great, as always. This is an excellent ‘Who done it?’, but nothing original. Just another good murder from the 1950s. Worth seeing for fans of the genre.- Was this review helpful to you?

By fwibbler (17 reviews) from Rainham , 03 Aug 2004I don't know what's happened during the transfer of this to DVD. It seems to be fairly clean and free from noise but it's almost unbearably bright in most scenes.
A reasonable whodunit film, but nothing outstanding. It didn't really keep my interest. Too much talk, not enough action and Vincent Price isn't in it enough.- Was this review helpful to you?
