Title: This is Fulci-Lite
Review: It appears that Fulci did not spend a lot of time or effort in producing this retelling of the classic tale of "The Black Cat", as it seems shallow and hurried. The story involves a pretty young photographer who gets caught up in murders in a tiny English village, which may or may not be traceable to mad Patrick Magee and his pet cat. Hmmm...There is a severe absence of trademark gore scenes here, which is why "The Black Cat" never features much in Fulci filmographies. The only really unpleasant scene is the one in which Dagmar Lassander is burned alive, with plenty of close-ups. The English village is all very beautifully shot, and it appears to be on location, but in every scene of tension, Fulci reacts by zooming in on the eyes of the characters, (and of the cat!) Afer scene upon scene of close-ups of eyes, you will be praying for the cat to come and rip yours out! This film came after Fulci's period of greatness, and is nothing more than a stop gap.
