The Black Cat (1981 Film)
''The Black Cat'' ( it, Black Cat: Gatto nero) is a 1981 Italian horror film directed by Lucio Fulci. Biagio Proietti co-wrote the screenplay with Fulci. It starred Patrick Magee, Mimsy Farmer, Al Cliver, David Warbeck, and Dagmar Lassander. The film is based loosely on the 1843 story of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe, and uses the violent style that typified the director's later career, following films like ''Don't Torture a Duckling'' (1972). Plot Strange things are happening in a small English village, beginning when a man driving a car suddenly encounters a strange black cat in the back seat and, through the mesmerizing stare, the cat causes the man to crash his car into a lamp post, killing him. The black cat travels back to its home, a rambling old house occupied by Robert Miles, a morbid and hostile former college professor of the supernatural who is reputed to be a medium. Professor Miles lives alone except for his equally hostile black cat, and spends his time maki ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
