Reviews: The Mummy, Island of Lost Souls, The Black Cat
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 13, 2023

Classic Films in Focus: THE BLACK CAT (1934)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jun 9, 2015
For a horror film that actually shows very little, The Black Cat (1934) manages to suggest a great deal, and the result is a story that works on the imagination long after the brief picture has ended. Director Edgar G. Ulmer crams this small, dark package with surreal images and grotesque crimes onl read more

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Apr 7, 2015
Like many of the old dark house pictures of its era, The Black Cat (1941) relies upon an offbeat mixture of comedy and horror, zipping from gasps to giggles like a cheerily macabre carnival ride. For some horror purists, the goofier elements of these films repel, but it's easy to imagine a throng of read more
