In fusing the short story by Edgar Allan Poe with giallo this ends up a little lost and unsure of direction I think. 'The Black Cat' is a horrifying tale, on a side-note Norwegian cartoonist Steffen Kverneland made a wonderful adaptation of, and mixing it with two subplots is only partly successful really. Nice try though.
Whats good about this is the two female leads, Edwige Fenech is the most sexy woman outside Russ Meyers films and she does a good job here. Anita Strindberg who plays the agonized wife on the other hand, truly excels in the role playing well on all the strings her role requires. The way she is treated by her husband got me real angry so I guess he did a good role as well if not unsympatethic.
Oh and the score by Bruno Nicolai ain't bad either.
