Rating: 2/4 -- If nothing else, the film does offer the enviable opportunity to hear Lugosi bellow to one of his inferiors, "Imbecile! Bombastic ignoramus!" Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- You've got Lugosi giving it his all -- as if he believes he can hold this nonsense together by the sheer force of his will. And in some ways, he nearly does. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- In many of his movies, Bela Lugosi has bats in his belfry. But only in 'The Devil Bat' does he *really* have bats in his belfry, or at least in the secret chamber behind his hidden laboratory. Full Review

Product Description:

Bela Lugosi plays crazed scientist Dr. Paul Carruthers, who feels he has been treated horribly by the cosmetics companies and sets out to get his revenge in THE DEVIL BAT. To do this, he comes up with an ingenious--and very deadly--scheme: he trains bats to murder his enemies. Whenever the creatures smell the scent of a perfume he has created, they attack, and Dr. Carruthers makes sure that the targets of his wrath are covered in the fragrance.

The Devil Bat Movie Lover: from Elizabethtown, PA US -- April, 8, 2010

I Always enjoy watchig the late Bella Lugosi carry a movie. He is still an icon. I liked this movie in black and white color adds a different dimention to the film which I like also
This movie was borrowed from many times,see the Ammicus production The Killer Bees. Thank you for re-working and restoring a classic movie
