It felt like it was going on forever. The Bat People (1974) strives to be a member of the noir clan, but its failings are so numerous it falls into the C-class category of films. Bad special effects. Bad use of bats. Bad acting. Bad, bad dialogue. A bad story. Undistinguished characters. Undeducible thematic material. Even the unpredictability near the end was agonizing rather than intriguing. So bad, we couldn’t even make jokes about it.
Heck, when the owner of the hand over on the left was beating on the sheriff’s deputy, we were cheering him on to kill him (the deputy attempted a rape).
And. Then. He. Didn’t!
I mean, this was baaad.
