    A fun little whodunnit, The Bat is a gem many people overlook. Set in a creepy old mannor, it's twists and turns will keep you guessing until the very end.

    A quality movie, it keeps you guessing throughout to who 'the bat' is. Movies like this shouldn't be forgotten.
  • August 10, 2008
    The first and last 10 minutes are great suspense, but the middle is all hens clucking through their worry. "Murder She Wrote" has sharper teeth. Vincent Price remains untouchable.

    This should have a remake. Make it more interesting. Just to add, this movie gave the idea for Batman.

    Very much a B movie. It was fun to watch, but it's hardly a great film. It's not even a really good film. Moorehead is excellent.
