THE BAT PEOPLE

1974 • US HMDB
January 15, 1974

Dr. John Beck, recently married, decides to take his wife, Cathy, spelunking in Carlsbad Cavern. While there, Dr. Beck, who specializes in bats, is bitten by a fruit bat. He is then, inexplicably, transformed into a vampire bat. While he escapes and seeks help from another doctor, it is clear the treatments are not working. In fact, they are aggravating his condition. Dr. Beck unwittingly goes on a killing spree, catching the attention of Sergeant Ward.

The Verdict

A doctor's honeymoon will turn out to be truly tragic for him. One night he is bitten by a bat and suffers the consequences by transforming into a bloodthirsty vampire.

A doctor's honeymoon will turn out to be truly tragic for him. One night he is bitten by a bat and suffers the consequences by transforming into a bloodthirsty vampire. Imagine a no-frills, mediocre horror movie, copied from so many others, and you have "The Bat's Bite". Negligible.
