    Beautiful blacks and rich reds create a beautiful photographic look in this classic Giallo by Sergio Martino. The story leaves a little to be desired, but that is typical for this genre. The style and camera movement more than make up for it's story pitfalls.

    One of Sergio Martino's finest efforts. An original, suspenseful and sexy adaptation of Poe's The Black Cat, filled with the typical ingredients of a 70's giallo.
  • October 18, 2006
    Martino, one of the giallos masters, crafts a nifty little thriller with fine performances (especially from the always good Edwige Fenech - man, I like her.)

    The description sounds interesting,i guess.
  • April 18, 2009
    I prefer The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh much more, but this film is also fantastic, an intriguing thriller exploring many of the more lurid and sexual topics common to Italian cinema during this period.
  • September 23, 2008
    Une ambiance assez incongrue, des personnages peu crédibles et surtout, une meurtrière au physique énervant...beaucoup de petits irritants.
  • September 11, 2008
    Un giallo au ton singulier. Malheureusement, Martino ne parvient pas à trouver le rythme juste!
  • December 5, 2007
    Incredible Giallo, Worthy of a purchase and some serious "alone time" spent with the visions of Edwige Fenech in your head.
  • November 13, 2007
    This has all of the pyschosexual elements a giallo needs to be successful. Edwige Fenech stands out in her first diabolical role...
  • March 18, 2007
    Not too sure about this one but it sounds kind of interesting!
