Not much to it but I still loved it! The colorized version gave everyone a ghostly green aura and it was really excellent

I watched this because of my love of bats but was disappointed by the factual inaccuracies

Less horror more sci-fi/murder mystery but simple, short and sweet. The dialogue and acting feel quite modern for something from the 1930s. There’s a nice spooky atmosphere but the lack of a dramatic score is unfortunate.
