❌
The Black Cat (1966)
Directed by Harold Hoffman
Quick Hit
The Black Cat throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is shaky. You can see the movie it wanted to be.
Full Take
The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s why it lands at BAD.
