Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" I found this Gothic Horror to be mildly
entertaing and slightly better than it's reputation. What is good is the atmospheric
cinematography by Sergio Salvati of a foggy damp but lush British countryside village
and the many scenes with The Beautiful Black Cat.
The Intro scene with the Black Cat on it's way home through the village after having
committed (i guess) some evil deed is my favourite of the film.

What is not so good is the many, to the ridiculous level, zoom into eyes scenes, and
Mimsy Farmer could have made an effort of looking more interested in her role.
Patrick Magee plays a weird old man strolling around on a graveyard trying to
communicate with the dead and he and his black cat have a strange hate relationship.

Mrs. Grayson (Dagmar Lassander) and the whole village is looking for her missing
daughter and the Scotland Yard inspector Gorley (David Warbeck) is called in to
help the local police in finding the missing.
An American photographer, Jill (Mimsy Farmer) visits the old village to photograph
the ruins and somehow starts sleuthing as in any gothic giallo movie when the victims
starts to pile up. Could the Perp be a Killer Cat? Really?

Even though there is little of gore and Fulci himself is said to have disliked the film
I found it to be pretty good with Magee being "interesting" (weird) as usual and
with the magnificent Black Cat in the main role.
