BLACK CAT, THE (1981)

When you hear this cat breathing down your neck… start praying… before you finish your Amen… you’re dead!

Between CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE BEYOND, Lucio Fulci co-wrote and directed this "overlooked love letter to the genre from one of horror's most creative minds" (Collider), now presented in 4K for the first time ever:

In a rural English village, an increasingly deranged professor (Patrick Magee of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and ASYLUM fame in his final lead role) obsessed with the supernatural will instill his pet feline with powers of homicidal mayhem. Mimsy Farmer (FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET), David Warbeck (THE BEYOND), Al Cliver (ZOMBIE) and Dagmar Lassander (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON) co-star in "one of the most purely enjoyable films of Fulci's career" (Beyond Terror: The Films of Lucio Fulci) featuring exquisite cinematography by Sergio Salvati (THE PSYCHIC), grisly special effects by Paolo Ricci (EATEN ALIVE) and an intense score by Pino Donaggio (DON'T LOOK NOW, CARRIE), newly restored and scanned in 4K from the original camera negative with over 3 hours of Special Features.
