  Despite having top billing, Vincent Price is only in the movie for a few scenes. In a way, anybody could have played Price's part. Price is good in the few moments he is in the movie, but most of the film rests on Agnes Moorehead's shoulders. Unfortunately, Moorehead chews up the scenery and her performance tends to be as erratic as the film's tone. This campy dark mansion whodunit comes off as terribly un-even and uninspired. The comedic moments are too cheesy and forced to be funny. Plus the mystery is drawn out too much, especially considering how few suspects there were. The cinematography is also very static, giving a very bland TV movie feel to the production. This is a bland mystery movie that is only remembered for featuring Vincent Price.

  Spooky old house chiller is blessed with having Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price in the cast. Nothing special but compared to the gory junk that passes for mysteries today a welcome old fashioned treat. It helps that the whole thing moves at a nice clip logging in at just 80 minutes.

  This movie has an ordinary mystery movie type story, but the style is more like a horror movie, and the actors are good, so the movie is pretty good too.

  "The Bat" is another version, the fourth, of the story and is one of the lesser versions in terms of credibility and portrayal. Even with the legendary and one of my personal favorites, Vincent Price as one of the lead characters, the film fails to be much more than a "who did it" mystery. While the film has its moments, in the end the poor script and cringe worthy dialogue and movements to fit the screenplay destroy any Classic status. While it was enjoyable at times and has some creepy bits, overall I wasn't blown away and look forward to seeing the '26 and '30 versions next. If you love Vincent Price, watch it and if not then it's no big loss.
