There's a likability about The Bat, an extravagant story about a serial killer after a million dollar, which I don't see in many movies any more. The acting is top notch (with Price as standout), the women in it are not hollow screamers but brave and self-dependent strong characters, and the story flies all over the place, which just makes it more interesting.
(Spoilers) In one of the first scenes a doctor and the bank-director, who just stole a million dollar, think of a scheme how to keep that money and get away with it. Murder is on their mind, and they talk about it freely and without hesitation. It's a great scene, which sums up the dark mood of the story, without ever getting really scary. (Spoilers) I won't give away any more, like who The Bat (who doesn't resemble a bat at all, but who cares) is, as I think you should see this movie for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
The Bat. Great story, great acting, great movie. 8/10.
