The Black Cat (1981) One of the lesser known Fulci films and often considered mediocre. Fulci does an admirable job of conveying a Hammer-esque gothic aesthetic with the authentic British locations and Patrick 'Try the wine' Magee chews the scenery with weird delight. It's also one of Fulci's more straightforward tales as a whole, atypical of his usual style. Despite a few solid set pieces, the narrative was not as memorable nor as striking as anything found in his 'Gates Of Hell' trilogy; often the case with his later work. Watchable enough, at least it wasn't
Manhattan Baby.
