Our take

Gawp at the stylized gore of horror legend Lucio Fulci with this cult film adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Black Cat.” Transplanted to an English village terrorized in equal parts by a cat menace and Fulci’s thrilling cinematography, it stars Mimsy Farmer and Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange).
