Fulci's tendency to try to outdo his rivals in disgusting scenes ("L'Aldila") is not a problem in this film.This is a suspenseful story ,with an elaborate screenplay à la Argento (note the importance of pictures in both directors' works ,photographs or paintings)and special effects with make-up kept to the minimum level.
Combining a subject dear to Edgar Allan Poe with a whodunit a la Agatha Christie and supernatural facts (O'Neil is some kind of medium) ,with a good supporting cast featuring Gabriele Ferzetti (Antonioni's "L"avventura" ) and French Marc Porel (sadly to die prematurely ) as a shrink whose assistant is smarter than him,"Sette Note In Nero" is worth seeing.
