As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Bat
1959  NR  MYSTERY  1h 20min
CAST— Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, Gavin Gordon, John Sutton, Lenita Lane, Elaine Edwards, Darla Hood
MUSIC— Louis Forbes  DIRECTOR— Crane Wilbur  BASED ON— The Circular Staircase (novel), by Mary Roberts Rinehart

     Here we have a poorly constructed mystery involving scientist Vincent Price in a search for $1,000,000. A mystery novelist moves into a deserted mansion with a sordid reputation. Soon, she starts to receive nightly visits from the masked murderer known only as The Bat. After enlisting aid from the good doctor and the police the search is on for the missing loot, presumably hidden somewhere inside the house. Who is The Bat? When will he strike next? Who cares? There isn’t much substance here, only unintentional laughs, unless you’re a Vincent Price freak, and if so relish every moment.
OUR RATING— * ½
