Review of The Crimes of the Black Cat

Using a black cat as an instrument of death, for example, that's quite original, at least in the particular way it's done here. The film is hurt by indifferent English dubbing, but the climax is absurd enough to satisfy genre fans; there is also one of the nastiest, most vicious murder scenes in memory. With its blind protagonist and "Cat" in the English title, the closest comparison one could make is perhaps with Dario Argento's "Cat O' Nine Tails" from the previous year, but Sergio Pastore is not in Argento's league. ** out of 4.
