the vampire bat (1933)


AKA Blood Sucker. Forced to Sin.
"Vampires are at large I tell you!"
There's a serial killer terrifying the villagers of Kleinshloss, with all the victims drained of blood. The burgomeister (Lionel Belmore) and Dr (Lionel Atwill) are convinced there is a vampire in their midst, but the chief of police (Melvyn Douglas) is skeptical as is his girlfriend (Fay Wray). Suspicion soon falls onto slow witted Herman Gleib (Dwight Frye), who is targeted by vigilantes. Meanwhile the attacks continue...
As much a whodunit, as a horror. This is an effective and entertaining film, whatever it is.
