'Well?'

Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick World.

'Something down here makes me feel primitive'

With a title like The Bat People you know where you are. It's just a question of how long you have to wait

'The bats'

John Beck is an expert on bats.

'I keep forgetting they turn everybody else off'

...or caves.

'It's just my work.'

Before settling down into medicine once it becomes convenient to the plot.

'You're working on a grant of preventative medicine, and you won't take it yourself.'

He and his wife Cathy are on their honeymoon.

'Our honeymoon was getting a little dull anyway'

It's going very well.

'You're disgusting'

To liven things up they go to a cave full of bats and…

After this, John has a funny turn in a cable car.

So they visit the local doctor.

'I don't think a week will make any difference. I'm going skiing'

In whom, I have to say, I don't have a lot of faith.

'I don't know what you mean'

Following a nocturnal incident at the hospital...

he explains to John what might have happened.

'You rushed back to your room. Now you're in a state of near coma'

If you're rushing, then you are not anywhere near coma. And the local police are no better.

'There's been one or two things that have been bothering me'

My audition for Columbo didn't go so well.

'What's wrong with you?'

When John becomes a suspect in some mysterious deaths he goes on the run and Sergeant Ward is there to comfort Cathy.

'Come on, you can't walk the streets all night.'

#'Roxanne#

'No!'

I mentioned mysterious deaths, but we already know - if only from the title -

what the solution to the mystery is…

John now seems to be a were-bat,

and I say seems because, despite the involvement of future special effects supremo Stan Winston,

that's all we see. And when he attacks someone...

That's all we see. It's inferred that he's turning into a bat as he's drinking blood.

And being even more of a jerk to his wife.

'Just get the hell out of here and leave me alone'

bats being famously poor husbands,

'For once in your life just do what the hell I ask'

but we see nothing. And, I think, we're supposed to question his sanity.

'It's in your mind.'

as does Cathy and ever astute doctor.

'I'm not a psychiatrist. Far from it'

But if we're supposed to think that, why show us the hand, why use that title?

'I don't think you quite understand'

If the hand was the first step of a gradual reveal that would be different but it's hand…

an hour of nothing, and then.

'Keep your hand off the light Cathy'

Here it comes.

'I don't want you to see me'

The big reveal…

'You look fine Johnny'

Yes, he does, because there's still another ten minutes to wait.

And all we get while we're waiting is John on the run from the police…

assaulting a mannequin…

and killing a random hobo.

'Are you a doctor?'

I'm still not sure.

Meanwhile, everyone else is trying to find what's happening to him,

again building to a reveal, with one slight problem.

'I don't know what he is'

But we do.

If it's in the title, it's not a reveal.

This is like calling Psycho - spoilers - It's Him Dressed Up as His Mum.

'You haven't got the nerve'

All this said, I think the biggest mistake is that it's their honeymoon - it should have been a second honeymoon,

a desperate attempt to save this horrendous marriage.

'It's been very good, Johnny and I have been very happy'

When John comes back to say goodbye to Cathy, they end up in bed and…

This infects Cathy and, after dealing with the lecherous cop.

she goes off to join Johnny.

In its final moments this becomes a story about an estranged couple who find that lost common ground between them by both turning into bats.

'I don't care about bats'.

I sort of buy that but, you've got to sit through 90 minutes of nothing to get there.

'Hell of a ride'

and 3 people have to die to save their marriage.

'He believes it, therefore it must be true.'

At its heart. The bat people is a love story

Are there any other b-movies or movies generally in which a romance hinges on something essentially preposterous and horrific?

Donald Trump Stuns DC – Secret Meeting at White House Goes Public - Duration: 11:23.

Donald Trump Stuns DC – Secret Meeting at White House Goes Public

President Donald Trump has surprised people all over the country with who he is meeting

at his White House today.

Daily Mail reported that Trump is meeting with reality television star Kim Kardashian

to talk about prison reform and pardoning a first-time drug offender.

She will first meet with the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, before she gets

her audience with the president.

Kardashian will be asking Trump to pardon Alice Johnson – a 62-year-old woman who

is serving a life sentence without parole for a first-time drug offense.

Kardashian has been campaigning for Johnson's release in a series of talks with the White

House over the course of the last few months.

She initially reached out to Ivanka Trump and established a connection with Kushner

through her.

Kardashian will not be joined by her husband, Kanye West, who is a Trump supporter.

During the meeting, she would like to "explain to [Trump] that, just like everybody else,

we can make choices in our lives that we're not proud of and that we don't think through

all the way."

Kushner has long pushed for prison reform, which is a deeply personal issue to him given

his father Charles' own year-long incarceration in 2005 – for tax evasion, illegal campaign

contributions, and witness tampering.

He has been an outspoken proponent of the First Step Act, which was created to offer

job training and drug-treatment programs as an incentive for inmates.

This act would also allow nonviolent offenders to have their last bits of sentences served

in halfway homes or house confinement.

"If we can start showing that we can make the prisons more purposeful and more effective

at lowering the recidivism rate over time, that may help the people who are trying to

make the argument for sentencing reform," Kushner is believed to have said in a White

House meeting earlier this month.

Putin zu Nordkorea: "Wir werden alles für Entspannung tun" - Duration: 6:45.

Russlands Präsident Putin fordert von den USA deutliche Schritte des Entgegenkommens, wenn Nordkorea auf weitere Atomtests verzichtet

Im ORF-Interview betonte er, Russland werde alles für eine Entspannung tun. Im Atomstreit zwischen den USA und Nordkorea pocht Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin auf ein Entgegenkommen beider Seiten

"Meiner Auffassung nach darf die Aufgabe der Atomwaffen durch Nordkorea keine Einbahnstraße sein", sagte Putin in einem Interview mit dem Österreichischen Rundfunk (ORF)

"Fortsetzung von Manövern kontraproduktiv" US-Präsident Donald Trump hat eine Lockerung von Wirtschaftssanktionen in Aussicht gestellt, wenn Nordkorea sein Atomwaffenprogramm aufgibt

Nach den Worten des russischen Präsidenten müssten sich beide Seiten bewegen. Wenn der nordkoreanische Machthaber auf weitere Raketen- oder Atomtests verzichte, müsse auch die Gegenseite verständliche, deutliche Schritte des Entgegenkommens setzen

Die Fortsetzung von militärischen Aktivitäten und Manövern sei in diesem Zusammenhang kontraproduktiv, so Putin

Er hoffe sehr, "dass sich die Sache in eine positive Richtung entwickelt". Nach dem Gespräch mit einem nordkoreanischen Unterhändler kündigte Trump an, sich doch mit Kim treffen zu wollen

Große Hoffnungen setzt der russische Präsident in diesem Zusammenhang auf das persönliche Treffen zwischen Trump und Nordkoreas Machthaber Kim Jong Un

Denn mit gegenseitigen Vorwürfen sei man schon zu weit gegangen, sagte Putin. Das Treffen zwischen Trump und Kim ist für den 12

Juni in Singapur geplant. An einer Eskalation der Situation habe vor allem Russland als Nachbar Nordkoreas kein Interesse, sagte das russische Staatsoberhaupt

Die Vorstellung eines atomaren Krieges zwischen den USA und Nordkorea jage ihm Angst ein

"Das Militär-Testgelände, das Nordkorea gerade zerstört, liegt - wenn ich mich richtig erinnere - nur 190 Kilometer von der russischen Grenze entfernt", sagte Putin

Russland werde daher alles für eine Entspannung auf der koreanischen Halbinsel tun

In der vergangenen Woche hatte Russlands Außenminister Nordkorea besucht. Putin-Interview im Österreichischen Rundfunk Vor dem Besuch des russischen Präsidenten Putin in Wien sprach er mit ORF-Moderator Armin Wolf auch über Europa, die USA und die Demokratie in seinem Land

| orf.at Engere Zusammenarbeit mit der EU Vorwürfe, wonach die russische Führung mit ihren Kontakten zu nationalistischen und EU-kritischen Parteien die EU destabilisieren wolle, wies der Präsident zurück

"Wir verfolgen nicht das Ziel, etwas oder jemanden in der EU zu spalten", sagte Putin

"Wir müssen im Gegenteil die Kooperation mit der EU ausbauen." Russland sei an einer geeinten und florierenden EU interessiert, weil sie der wichtigste Handels- und Wirtschaftspartner sei

"Je mehr Probleme es innerhalb der EU gibt, desto größer sind die Risiken und Unsicherheiten für uns", sagte Putin

08.2017 Putin empfängt französische Rechtsextremistin Le Pen, 24.03.2017 Er verteidigte die Zusammenarbeit der Partei "Einiges Russland" mit rechten Parteien wie dem französischen Front National, der deutschen AfD oder der österreichischen FPÖ

Man entscheide über eine politische Zusammenarbeit pragmatisch. Er sei überzeugt, dass "Einiges Russland" - deren Gründer und Vorsitzender Putin lange war - auch mit anderen politischen Kräften gerne Kontakte aufbaut

"Wir versuchen, mit jenen zu kooperieren, die selbst öffentlich den Wunsch äußern, mit uns zusammenzuarbeiten

" Nur darin lägen die Gründe für politische Kontakte - "und nicht im Wunsch, etwas in der EU zu destabilisieren oder zu behindern"

Putin besucht am Dienstag Österreich. Vorgesehen ist unter anderem ein Treffen mit Bundeskanzler Sebastian Kurz
