Up There With Fulcis Best!July 24, 2008 Ive been a fan of Fulcis for years and its so refreshing to find yet another brilliant film to add to the collection. I dont think this film will appeal to fans of New York Ripper so much, but more to fans of Beyond and House By The Cemeterey (ie:the classics)as it relies heavily on atmosphere and dialogue (suprisingly good for a fulci film). Plus, as usual the cinematography is incredible, especially in the opening opening rooftop scene and the cats eye view as he stalks the streets at night, which are some of the best scenes in any Fulci film. David Warbeck (The Beyond)and Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) also make this suprisingly interesting viewing.If your a fan of these films, i highly recommend this one. Im glad to have finally discovered it!
classic FulciMay 16, 2008 The Black Cat is one of Fulcis best films it is very atmospheric and has a great music score, excellent cinematography and fine perfomances from Patrick Macgee and David Warbeck.The dvd from Shameless has a 16:9 transfer which is very good. The only extras are the films trailer and trailers for other Shameless titles which is dissapointing because the previous uk dvd from Redemption had an interview with Lucio Fulci. However it is still a must buy for fans of horror films and Fulci.
Splendid TransferApril 3, 2008 The quality of the transfer on this disc shows what can be done, even with low budget stuff like this, if proper care is taken. The print looks incredible even compared to dvds of major films from the same period - colours and details are spot on. The only blemishes on the print seem to be those inherited from the master print itself. The dvd is 4:3 letterboxed only, so widescreen viewers will need to hit the zoom button as the dvd is not widescreen enhanced.
As to the film itself, well it's good to see Patrick Magee in fine bonkers form - and Mimsy Farmer too for that matter - and the cat puts in a cracking performance. Give that moggy an oscar!
One warning - this dvd forces you to watch a number of trailers before starting the main film. How they got past the bbfc censors I do not know since the first one (New Yorker Killer) seems to consist of nothing else but brutal and sexually explicit attacks on various women, including a particularly nasty one involving a broken bottle being rammed against a female victim. The other trailers are not much better - apart from a very silly one for Venus In Furs!
Enjoyable horrorMarch 11, 2008 Fulci's reworking of the famous Poe story: When mysterious deaths occur in a remote village a Scotland Yard detective (David Warbeck) is called in to help.. Lucio Fulci has made many better films than this but it's still a high quality horror that puts Argento's version of the story in "Two evil eyes" to shame. The direction is high on style and it has a brilliant atmosphere and there's also an unusual but good score. It's not massively gory but there are some bloody moments and this release by shameless is uncut and the picture quality is great. Right from the off the film gets going and it's most definitely entertaining all the way through.
