Is they didn't explain everything. Twice characters see unmistakable transformation of a Bat into a Human.
And these are definitely method acting, as they very much in character when absolutely NO ONE is watching them.
"When the chips are down... these Civilized people... will Eat each Other"
Or when Mora and Luna walk through the spiderweb without disturbing it, as Dracula did in Universal's picture (though to be fair, it later on appears as though the Baron and Inspector do the same). Despite it being a remake, it gives the impression that it's an ending that was tacked on as an afterthought, even though it wasn't due to 'London After Midnight'. Poorly thought out in that regard, I agree.

A year before the events in which the film took place, Baron Otto murdered Irena's father when he would not consent in giving her hand in marriage and placed the blame on the local vampires. The Professor and Inspector hired actors to play the role of vampires in order to frighten him and to solve the case.
Also, we don't *see* Mora or Luna transform from bat to human being or the other way around. These scenes are visualizations of what people claimed to have seen.
The scene where we see Mora enter the house as a bat, is an event *described* by the two servants. These two servants are part of the plot, so it is exactly what they have been told to describe.
As for Luna 'flying' down, landing next to Mora: at the end of the movie we see her packing these wings. This event was put in scene to delude the murderer.
' Despite it being a remake, it gives the impression that it's an ending that was tacked on as an afterthought, even though it wasn't due to 'London After Midnight'.'
It's as though they set out to make a vampire horror. Then realised that it was too creepy, atmospheric, unsettling, maybe even frightening (for the time), lost their nerve and did a hasty rewrite on the ending.
Nothing will ever beat the plot twists of when its revealed that Rey is a Palpatine and when Superman comes back to life in Justice League
