Dr. John Beck (Stewart Moss) and his lovely wife Cathy (Marranne McAndrew) fell into an underground cave. When his wife was attacked by a bat, he tried to help her but he ended up getting bitten instead. Beck thought the scratch was nothing until he found himself having horrible nightmares. He slowly turned into a bat creature! Beck began attacking innocent people for blood. The only one who could talk some sense to him was his wife.<\/p>\n
Directed by Jerry Jameson (Airport ’77, Raise the Titanic) made a watchable but disjointed horror film that attempts to be truly scary but fails. Moss gives a good performance and there’s early make-up effects work by the late five time Oscar-Winner,Stan Winston (Jurassic Park Trilogy, Aliens, Interview with an Vampire).<\/p>\n
The DVD is a double feature with “The Beast Within” from MGM. Although i think “The Beast Within” is a much better movie in my opinion.The DVD has a good anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and a decent Dolby Stereo 2.0 Surround Sound. “The Bat People” is a truly forgotten horror film. It is probably only notable for make-up effects for fans to see Winston’s early f\/x work. Michael Pataki has some fun as a slightly sleazy sheriff. Badly written and produced by Lou Shaw<\/p>\n
