Jill Trevers (Mimsy Farmer) arrives in a small english town to do some photography work.
Mysterious murders begin to happen. Jill meets Professor Miles (Patric Macnee), who's lurks in
graveyards to record dead people's voices. Theres always a black cat around him (which
attacks him often). Meanwhile, the local policeman Sergeant Wilson (Al Cliver) phones for help from
Scotland Yard and they send over Inspector Gorley (David Warbeck). He arrives and more
dead people get found. He needs a photograph for a corpse and uses Jill, (she
never did this kind of work before). Later on, two teenagers are missing. One mother knows
the Professor and asks him for help (he's like a psychic medium). Miles tells her where to find
them (which he sees in his vision). The police and the mother arrive at the spot and
find both dead. Everything is a mystery. No human being could have done it. Professor
Miles tries to hang the cat, but no luck, she comes back and the killing goes on further. [[Lucio Fulci]] said in The Bloody Best of Fangoria Vol. 9: "...The Black Cat is a picture I'm not proud of." Why did he say that? Of course its not his best movie but its still a good one in my opinion. I can't get enough of the close-up shots. Some Fulci fans say: "not enough gore in it." I say: "Yeah, but this is a movie which has got a more Gothic flair to it." (y'all need to understand that). Recommended! - '''Reviewed by [[User:GBS|GBS]] - 02/16/08'''
