I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

One of my all time favorites.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Suddenly is quite odd to watch a movie made in England in an italian language,it's sounds pretty weird but it's Fulci's way,sometimes he did it,the story is fine but somehow didn't make sense nearly to final of it,the black cat hanged and buried comes alives seems a bit contrive,nevertheless the picture was well done by the master of gore and certainly was approved by many of Fulci's counteless admires around the world including myself!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7.25

(58%) A Lucio Fulci movie in the category of movies that make at least some sort of sense - well apart from the fact that this is about a killer moggie. And if it is a killer cat movie you're after then this is certainly one of the very best that really does offer what you'd expect. At its best this is a very well shot, creepy, Hichcockian man vs beast nightmare with the great Patrick Magee getting plenty of screen time, well, at least his eyes do. But at its worst it's a bit tepid, and once you've seen the cat strike, which happens very early on, then you've seen more or less all this has to offer. But this is still too entertaining, well made, and at least somewhat connected to Poe's grisly short to dismiss. For giallo fans this is a must watch, while everyone else could do a heck of a lot worse than watch this.

The Black Cat (Lucio Fulci, 1981) Always remember, the title credits say the film is freely adapted from Poe's story. Freely may be the understatement of the year. Best not to think on Poe's tale until the final ten minutes.The killer kitty is at the center of the story, causing a series of accidents in a small Scottish town whose inspector, Wilson (Fulci regular Al Cliver), gets expatriated and calls Scotland Yard. They send in Inspector Gorley (David Warbeck, who also teamed with Fulci for The Beyond the same year). Gorley and Wilson, with the help of plucky American photographer Jill Trevers (sixties biker bad girl Mimsy Farmer), try to solve the crimes while working out what an aging, eccentric mystic (Patrick Magee) has to do with it all.And now, the part that will make Fulci fans wonder who really directed this movie: there's no eye scene, and there's no spider scene. In fact, it's almost as if Fulci wanted to tone down the gore and make an atmospheric, Gothic horror/romance, but without the romance (except for one sex scene that would barely rate a PG-13 today).Fulci himself considers this movie a disaster. Who am I to disagree? Well, I will, at least in part. It's certainly watchable enough, if confused. It's not Zombi or The Beyond, but it's got its endearing points. Worth a free rental.

Somewhat atmospheric but ultimately a rather pedestrian affair from Fulci. The story is pretty lame and the pacing is off in this "re-imagining" of the Poe classic, which by itself isn't a bad thing 'cause the story has been filmed countless times.Made at the time when Fulci was at full force, making such classics as The Beyond, City of the Living Dead and House By The Cemetery and this one, all in two years time, it is reported that Fulci's heart wasn't all together in this project. Out grabbing a smoke this time around are frequent script collaborator Dardano Sacchetti and composer Fabio Frizzi and, honestly, they're sorely missed. Although Pino Donaggio contributes a solid score, the writing here is below par and Sacchetti, who more or less was responsible for Fulci's nightmarish visions in The Beyond and City of the Living Dead (two very effective horror films), would probably have injected more life into the proceedings and delivered some better dialogue.Dialogue wise, this is pretty stupid. Fulci has some fine talents here; Patrick Magee is menacing as the local medium who has a strange relationship with the black cat, Mimsy Farmer is always welcome in an Italian production and David Warbeck is always likable. But poor dubbing and shitty lines do count for much here, the actors own voices aren't even in sync. Another thing that bothered me here; the cinematography. Sometimes it's scope photography is very effective when it's focusing on the town village which is covered with fog and at times it builds up quite an atmosphere. But the insane (and very frequent) close-ups on the actors eyes is way too much. It happens nearly in every scene to some extent.The pacing here is off and it drags quite a bit, despite only just reaching 90 minutes. In the beginning the story looks promising when Magee is attempting to communicate with the dead (you immediately think of The Beyond and City) but it veers off in another direction altogether once the psychic link between him and the cat starts taking control. That part of the story never really gels (and it's here that the story is similar to Poe's original but it has a twist) and although some of the death sequences are handled well it doesn't make up for the remainder of the film which is a bit too slow and impassionately executed. The ending is also pilfered wholesale from Fulci's earlier The Psychic (aka Seven Notes in Black) and that leaves a nasty aftertaste.I must say, however, that the scenes with the cat are amazing. That's one impressive cat and a damn fine actor to boot. Quite the acrobat and problem solver and I'd be scared of him too.
