Review of The Black Cat

I thought this was rather good. I like Fuci for his ability to build

atmosphere rather than for gore and this film unlike for instance

City of The Living Dead had some narrative cohesion. Strong

actors also seem to help fulci...magee here and Richard

Johnstone in Zombie.

The scenes in the graveyard are the best. Sometimes a film that is

just a collage of eyegrabbing visuals can work well e.g The

Beyond....but sometimes its nice to have something approaching

either a story or an intellectual idea to back them up. Here the idea

of recording the dead and attempting to go beyond..is rather well

handled.
