Customer Reviews

"La morte negli occhi del gatto" (original title)

A series of gruesome dispatches occurs in an Italian castle. The family cat witnesses them. We cannot be too sure the cat is not in on the plot. Looks like anybody and everybody could be the culprit. Let us hope it is not someone who comes out of the closet at the last moment. Right off, I recognized the actress Jane Mallory Birkin, who played Corrigan; she was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in 2001. She was in “Evil Under the Sun” (1982). So, I was intrigued to find her in this movie. There were other actors that I could not believe they could afford in this movie, such as Anton Diffring, who played Dr. Franz. It took a second, then I recognized him from “Fahrenheit 451” (1966), where he played the Headmistress of a school. This story has castles and tales of evil beings. What more could anyone want? Turns out to be a cheap, quickly written Italian who-dun-it. It looks like someone wants to be the next “Hammer.” This would make a great school play, but it is too unprofessional in the dialogue (English, Italian, French, German) and special effects, to hold one's attention for long. I watched the DVD with the 8-minute interview with Co-Writer Giovanni Simpnelli where they were proud of making a movie on the cheap and had no idea how campy it could be.
