| ♥♥♥♥♥ | splendidly inane |
| I got this to watch with my son, who is at the age when he is becoming enamoured of monsters and creepy stories, in addition to sci-fi. We both enjoyed it for the atmosphere - in a superstitious "Bavaria", yet with normal british dress clothes and accents. There are a seies of mysterious deaths, marked by two puncture wounds on the necks of victims. The villagers focus their fear and wrath on a retarded man (Dwight Frye), who seems to appear around the victims prior to their deaths and who openly loves bats as "warm like cats." Needless to say, the plot takes unexpected turns and is impossible to predict! The young Faye Wray is also a treat, just before she became a b-movie star in King Kong. There are pretty good characters, including her intrepid cop boyfriend, who erfuses to believe the vampire theory though begins to doubt his doubt. Then, there is the throbbing dirt-like thing - what happened to it?
Great viewing fun: this is the kind of film I watched as a kid late at night at sleepovers. Now I share it with my son, who avidly watches them with me. It doesn't get better than that! |
