Pretty dull but seen worse. Mildly entertaining for no critical viewers. Some nice music which was probably the best thing about it. Some okay acting by the three leads.

Now I know Batman was copyrighted in 1939

Now I know Batman was copyrighted in 1939 and Man-Bat was copyrighted in 1974. But the title of Bat People when there is only one bat creature is just lazy. Considering the bat creature doesn't appear totally until the third act of this 93 minute movie. Also, they are implying that he was bit by a vampire bat. But then showed them skiing while his head was still hurt and unbandaged. Kind of dumb for a scientist to leave an open wound. But the location means the bat attack was in the same area as the ski trip and vampire bats don't like cold weather. So lazy film making. Lastly it the bat that bit him was an ordinary bat. Not a genetically altered bat or even a were-bat. Just a normal bat bites him and BAM! Bat Monster. That's dumb. I was bitten by a alligator lizard once, I didn't turn into a Lizardman or a Sleestak from "Land of the Lost". It's lazy, it's boring and it's dumb. Just avoid this huge pile of bat guano.
