Creature From The Haunted Sea / The Devil Bat / Vampire Bat (DVD)

Advantages: Overall Excellent
Disadvantages: Under-appreciated

...of curiosity, It was superbly made and brilliantly written. All the characters were had their own motives but they were all being thrown together so they were trying to keep each other at arms length. Trying to discover who was The Bat and trying to make sure they?re not accused of being The Bat. All the while the race is on to find the money. It?s billed by Ciao as a horror which isn?t the case it?s a classic film-noir mystery film but it does have it?s darker elements. A masked criminal is on the loose. They get odd phone-calls from different ends of the house and people are murdered from the darkness and indeed there is a haunted ballroom in the film. However, the film is notably for it?s comedy. The maid is our main comic character she?s cartoon-ish in the way she acts. She?s afraid of everything and what?s the old aunt to leave so she can get... Read review

Advantages: a really nice middle
Disadvantages: Kashmir Willow

...LOOKS This Bat in my view is one of the best looking bats around and has not got to much pictures on the bat like the Kookaburra angry beast. I think the blue and red go very well together and really look good. Even the grip fits in with the style having blue slashes on it done by "the beast". The beast itself is not overdone but it still noticeable from a distance. I think the fact that the wood is unbleached giving it a more white effect looks better for it's style than a darker wood.

Advantages: Iconic album, brilliant songs, awesome voice.
Disadvantages: Not everyones taste, maybe too much disparity in song types for just 7 songs.

...Introduction Bat out of Hell is the third best selling album of all time, behind Thriller and Back In Black, and here's why I think that might be... I first heard the song Bat Out Of Hell eight years ago, when I was only ten, and didn't think that much to it. What I didn't realise however, was what I had heard on the free Daily Mail CD of Power Ballads, was an awfully watered down and pitifully edited four minute version of the song. I soon came to realise that Bat Out Of Hell was only to be listened to if you have the original edit, and ten minutes to spare, when my dad delved into his dusty record collection and cranked up the volume on his old player, just to prove that what I had listened to was not what Meat Loaf intended to be heard, and I quickly disposed of the god awful free CD. So I sat and listened, and thought the song... Read review
