The Black Cat
Directed by Lucio Fulci
An evil feline causes a series of gruesome deaths in a small town. First it makes a man drive into a parked car, then it suffocates a pair of teens, and then it causes a drunk to fall to his death. But is it really the cat? And what does the medium (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE’s Patrick Magee) who looks after the feline have to do with it all? A photographer (Mimsy Farmer) and a cop try their best to solve the puzzle, but each step closer leads to terrifying danger. Watch Fulci’s eerie Poe adaptation back to back with Dario Argento’s in TWO EVIL EYES for maximum effect.

Not his best, not his worst
Fulci meets Hammer. . . . great film. . . .
Kept me interested, good movie
Early 80’s Fulci, what’s not to love!? Atmospheric as hell. Not as gore-filled as his other works but still worth a watch for sure.
This was a very strange movie about a killer cat. The movie had a 70's feel, from the camera work, bad audio and bizarre dialog dubbing with some characters. I had a hard time staying immersed in the movie because every time I saw the main actor I kept thinking of A clock work orange. It was ok, nothing really memorable. I give them points for trying to make a killer cat scary.
