Agnes Moorehead, as ever, steals the show in this black and
white whodunit.
The smooth presence of Vincent Price, with a bat in the bedroom
too, misleads the unwary into believing the local murderer
- The Bat - to be something supernatural.
But once the story gets going, it's clear that that was a
smokescreen, though the film retains an edgy spookiness right
to the end.
The US DVD cover (left) is a little more honest than the
UK version!
