The Movie
Nina (Rosemary La Planche), daughter of the infamous "Devil
Bat" Dr. Carruthers, worries she's inherited her late father's
murderous tendencies, in this horror-mystery film from PRC studios,
a sequel to its 1940 Bela Lugosi vehicle, THE DEVIL BAT. Nina
is convinced her late father was a vampire, and that his ghost
is trying to possess her and make her drink the blood of the
living (actually, all he did was just make a few devil bats
and send them out to kill his enemies).
She winds up seeking shelter at the home of a shady psychiatrist
(Michael Hale) who tries to cure her by giving her lots of sleeping
pills. In the morning she wakes up with blood on her hands,
and a dead body in the other room. Ted Masters (John James),
Dr. Morris's stepson, is in love with her and won't believe
she's a killer. Monica Mars co-stars as Dr. Morris's mistress,
and Molly Lamont plays his trusting wife. Wisbar adds expressionistic
angles and soft focus dream sequences to this fast-paced little
mystery, and Rosemary La Planche is lovely in the lead.
