Jens B Oct 16 Fulci's interpretation of Poe, or rather: a totally cute cat wreaks murderous havoc. Together with Sergio Salvati, Fulci once again creates a magical atmosphere all of his own; Pino Donaggio's score fits perfectly. The directorial ideas ensure that "The Black Cat" never gets boring, even if it's sometimes difficult to follow the plot. Perhaps I was distracted by the many extreme close-ups of eyes... The actors are good, a few murders are nasty, and did I mention that the titular cat is really very cute? See more 07/30/2018 Goofy "Poe-inspired" silliness from Fulci. Fun to watch on a rainy afternoon.

The actual plot itself is overly ridiculous and a little stupid, it doesn't really crave suspense or tension but far better than initial thoughts on paper as the final product isn't all that stupid or boring as it would sound. See more 06/02/2017 So I've enjoyed most of the Fulci films I've run across, but this one left me cold for some reason. There's a few interesting death sequences, but overall I just can't get that spooked by a black cat lurking around, which is what this film would have required. The idea of someone sending evil spirits after their enemies is creepy I suppose, but if the messenger is something I'm accustomed to scaring away with a squirt bottle of water, it's hard to be freaked out by it. Rental? At best? See more 05/13/2017 Very weak (and loose) adaptation of the Poe classic. See more Read all reviews
