This film is supposed be inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat". Well don't be fooled! The only thing left of Poe's original story is the black cat. The film is one of the poorest and lamest Italian films ever made! No story, no plot, no style and just nonsense throughout 90 minutes. Fact is that I love "some" of Sergio Martino's dark tales like "Torso" and "All The Colors Of The Dark". But it ends there. Martino was and are like a machine, and he's film comes in rapid succession. Some of them are pretty good and others just suck big time, this one fits nicely into the second category. So if you want to take a look into the Italian world of mystery, don't start here. Check out films like Don't Torture A Duckling(Lucio Fulci), Lizard In A woman's Skin(Lucio Fulci), Solamente Nero(Antonio Bido), Deep Red(Dario Argento), Tenebrae(Dario Argento) or the films by Sergio Martino mentioned above
Have fun!!!
