The Black Cat released in 1981 is one of Lucio Fulci's lesser known efforts. The Black Cat was released in a time when the splatter era of Lucio Fulci was upon us. If its gore you are looking for you won't find very much here, while the Black Cat does have some violence it's not very gory at all; the couple of gore scenes we get are very tame actually. I wouldn't even call them gore scenes. With The Black Cat Fulci focuses more on suspense; while we all have our own opinion I think a lot of people went into this movie expecting a gorefest. Lucio Fulci was a director who could make his movies come out creepier than they should have, but it's the gore is what really got fans talking. The Black Cat could have used more of the red stuff; while the movie wasn't bad it just never had that creepy feel that some of Fulci's other movies from this era did. The close up of the eyes is a Lucio Fulci trademark; when used right that shot can be really effective and make a scene very eerie. But here in The Black Cat, Fulci goes into close up of the eyes overload. It seemed every other shot was a close up of the eyes. Honestly it can get rather annoying after a while. The look of the movie is well done for the most part; Sergio Salvati was the cinematographer and he worked with Fulci on some of his most popular flicks of the 80s. Lucio Fulci and Sergio Salvati are able to create a great look visually and are able to make some scenes a little creepier than maybe they should have been. The Black Cat really wasn't a bad movie it's your typical Lucio Fulci movie only without the gore. There were some decent moments of suspense and the movie is actually well made for the most part. At times The Black Cat can drag and there are moments when it can be a bit boring, but overall The Black Cat is enjoyable. If you aren't a fan of Lucio Fulci your best bet is probably to skip this, but if you are a fan or a some what fan of Fulci The Black Cat is worth a watch. Just don't expect any gore because you will be disappointed; while The Black Cat lacks in some areas it is enjoyable for the most part. Not one of Lucio Fulci's best, but not one his worst. The Black Cat is a decent watch and has it's moments. The DVD from Blue Underground is the same exact disc as the Anchor Bay version. So if you already own the DVD there is no reason to buy another one.
