Genre: Foreign / Horror
Director: Lucio Fulci
Cast: Patrick Magee, Mimsy Farmer, David Warbeck, Al Cliver, Dagmar Lassander, Bruno Corazzari, Geoffrey Copleston, Daniela Doria
Supposedly, this film is based on the Edgar Allan Poe story, but the title is about the only thing in common with Poe's work. A wheelchair-bound psychic (Patrick Magee) talks to the dead and to his cat and sends the cat out to take care of his enemies. But who is really in control–the cat or the man? Gore is mild by Lucio Fulci standards.
