The Black Cat (Directed by Lucio Fulci-1981)


Having been a fan of Fulcis for years its rather refreshing to find yet another brilliant film to add to the collection. I don't think this film will appeal to fans of New York Ripper so much, but more to fans of The Beyond and House By The Cemetery (ie:the classics)as it relies heavily on atmosphere and dialogue (surprisingly good for a fulci film). Plus, as usual the cinematography is incredible, especially in the opening rooftop scene and the cats eye view as he stalks the streets at night, which are some of the best scenes in any Fulci film. David Warbeck (The Beyond)and Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) also make this surprisingly interesting viewing. If your a fan of these films, I recommend this one. It's good to have finally discovered it.
