Masters of Horror: The Black Cat (2007)
Season 2, Episode 11
10/10
Jeffrey Combs outdoes himself yet again, another IMMACULATE performance!
10 February 2008
The Black Cat stars brilliant, multi-talented veteran actor Jeffrey Combs as Edgar Allan Poe. But if you didn't see Jeffrey Combs' name on the credits before watching it, you'd never even know it was him! Much like how Mr. Combs has created completely distinct, fascinating, individual persons in his previous great roles (Weyoun, Brunt, Shran etc.), he yet again in The Black Cat transforms into something completely distinct from anything he's done before. The greatest achievement an actor can ever achieve is to perform each role so well that he is not even recognizable as the same actor in his new role. Jeffrey Combs has already achieved this great feat many times prior to The Black Cat, and he has done it equally as perfectly once again in The Black Cat.

*Easily* one of the very best horror performances ever put on film! This is a 10/10 for Jeffrey Combs' performance alone, which is as immaculate as always. Words *cannot* properly convey how amazing Mr. Combs' performance is, therefore you simply must go right ahead and watch The Black Cat to fully understand & appreciate the brilliance.
