Product Description

Product Description

From Italy s own Godfather of Gore Lucio Fulci (Zombie, The Gates of Hell) comes The Black Cat a gruesome reimagining of the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale starring Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) and Mimsy Farmer (The Perfume of the Lady in Black).

When a young couple goes missing in a sleepy English village, Scotland Yard Inspector Gorley (David Warbeck, The Beyond) is brought in to assist on the case. But what starts off as routine investigation turns into a murder inquiry when the couple are found dead in mysterious circumstances.

Fusing a classically gothic atmosphere with the decidedly more visceral elements that are the hallmark of Fulci s films, The Black Cat is a too-often overlooked and underrated entry in the Italian master filmmaker s canon.

    4.0 out of 5 stars"My Grandad used to tell me when I was a lad that the dead like to be left alone. They're not very hospitable"
    By West25 on 5 Jan. 2012
    Format: DVD Verified Purchase
    A man is driving down a peaceful road when he is startled by a cat in the back seat, the man can't seem to stop looking at the cat and crashes his car into another vehicle, and his body smashes through the windscreen. We then see the cat move over some roof tops, and it enters the home of Robert Miles, a medium who claims he can speak with the dead. After a young couple go missing, Inspector Gorley is brought in to investigate. When the mother of the missing girl goes to see Miles, he tells her the location of the kids. The Inspector and his officers make a gruesome discovery, the couple have been locked into a room and died, but the door was locked from the inside with the key being found outside. With no one in town to take photographs of the corpses, the Inspector has to ask an American photographer who is staying in the quaint English village to take the pictures. As more people end up dead, the inspector and photographer find that all the evidence leads back to Robert Miles and his black cat.

    The acting is of a high standard in this film, Patrick Magee is the star of the show as he puts in a wonderfully over-the-top performance as the creepy medium, Miles. He really is a joy to watch, and his crazy eyes and big bushy eyebrows are perfect for the lingering close-ups. Fulci originally wanted Peter Cushing to play the role of Robert Miles, but Cushing turned down the role knowing Fulci's reputation for making "gory" horror films. I'm a big Peter Cushing fan, but I love Magee in this film and simply can't picture Cushing in the role. Mimsy Farmer is good as Jill Trevers, the inquisitive photographer whose questions lead her to Miles and his strange relationship with his cat. David Warbeck does a pretty good job as Gorley, and along with Al Cliver playing Sgt.    Read more ›

    3.0 out of 5 starsThe Black Cat
    By A. J. Harrison on 15 Jun. 2012
    Format: DVD Verified Purchase
    Gorley, Scotland Yard detective and American photographer Jill Trevers investigate a series of bizarre deaths in a small English village which are connected to a local professor Robert Miles who has the psychic ability to talk to dead spirits and somehow uses his gift to direct the entities to his pet black cat who becomes his instrument for revenge against those who have wronged him

    I read that Lucio Fulci said that he really hated this film and that he only did it as a favour to the producer but I don't see why he disliked it so much considering it is very similar to his more famous films. It has all the supernatural elements he likes to implant in his stories and is as well directed as the majority of his films.

    Patrick Magee is great as the scary Prof. Miles, he has a perfect spooky and evil look about him and he has got to have the longest eyebrows I have ever seen. Mimsy Farmer is okay as the American Journalist Jill Trevers and David Warbeck doesn't really do anything as Gorley. We also get brief appearances from genre regulars Al Cliver as a policeman and Bruno Corazzari as a drunk.

    The death scenes are not as violent and gory as his other horror pictures but that doesn't mean they still aren't shocking. The sequences were the woman is set on fire in her own home, is well made and is as cringe worthy as in any other he has made in his movies.

    Pino Donaggio composes a good score, the main theme tune played over the opening and end titles fits perfectly as the camera watches the black cat walk along roof tops, alleyways and the streets of this small isolated and spooky English village.

    The story as expected is a little silly, doesn't really make sense and certain parts just aren't explained. It is however still a decent film that is worth watching for Fulci fans just don't expect a big dramatic climax at the end.

    4.0 out of 5 starsFulci goes for the atmospherics rather than the jugular
    By Darren Horton on 30 July 2014
    Format: DVD Verified Purchase
    Decent attempt by Fulci to attempt an early 70's horror in the style of Hammer/Amicus. Holding back on the gore, although still very bloody and violent in parts, Fulci goes for atmosphere in a tale set in a quaint English village. I loved the fact that this village contains genre stalwart Al Cliver as a local English policeman.

    Great cinematography by Fulci regular Sergio Salvati, who is on fine form with this one. Sadly their partnership was coming to an end and Fulci's films began to look cheaper and cheaper after this. Good performances all round although Ive never been a massive Mimsy Farmer fan but Patrick Magee is on fine form in what would have been his last film.

    Worth checking out.

    4.0 out of 5 starsKatastrophes and kataclysms!
    By Gorgal Windsor on 30 Oct. 2013
    Format: DVD
    Immensly enjoyable film,concerning killer cats,Patrick Magee and David Warbeck. Lucio Fulci has gone for a great Hammer/Amicus feel with this one(at times it brought to mind the killer mog segment of Torture Garden.)Unfortunately unlike the two British studios,The Black Cat's Plot,such as it is,makes very little sense.Never mind,it's all part of the fun,along with a plethora of wandering accents,Magee's eyebrows and attempting to count how many cats were used during filming.Throw in some great atmospherics,excellent location and camera work and some hilarious dialogue and you've got me hooked.Pretty tame by Fulci's usual fare,if you're squeamish,skip the trailers!

    3.0 out of 5 starsStandard early 80s horror
    By R P Bradshaw on 15 July 2015
    Format: DVD Verified Purchase
    Based on Edgar Allen Poe's short story an enjoyable film if its genre. I hadn't heard of Fulci before this who apparently specialised in gorefests. Not much here, but more of a thriller cat murder spree.
    I suggest watching with your mates and have a drinking game around it. Eyes close-up one shot. Cat screaming one shot. Cat scratch down pint. Character with moustache speaks two shots. And so on......
