This is a very nice set from the great folks at Arrow Video. The boxset is really great looking in person, very sturdy also. The 2 films included here are both inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe short story The Back Cat. You have in this set Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key directed by Sergio Martino & The Black Cat directed by Lucio Fulci. Both films obviously have a black cat that's central to the story but its more prominent in Fulci's film being responsible for almost everything bad that happens. After watching both films I have to say that I enjoyed Martino's Your Vice better then Fulci's Black Cat. Your Vice is more like a traditional Italian Giallo film. Black Cat does some interesting things though & can also be seen as a giallo by some except the black glove the killer would normally wear is replaced by a black paw. Its also not very gory when compared to some of the other films Fulci has done. I also found the overall pacing, plot, characters, acting & story more interesting in Your Vice. Edwige Fenech especially does a very good job in Your Vice but the rest of the cast is good as well.

Ive never seen anything by Sergio Martino but after watching Your Vice I will certainly look into his other works. As a big fan of Lucio Fulci I felt just a little let down by his film The Black Cat. The characters, story, pacing, acting & general plot while ok just weren't up to his other stuff. Its not a bad film by any means it just falls somewhere below some of his other works. Both discs have very good extras, commentaries, interviews, trailers, filming locations (on The Back Cat) that any fan of the films will enjoy. Also comes with a very nice book that has writings on both films, Lucio Fulci's final interview & it also includes Edgar Allan Poe's original story. If you are a fan of Fulci & Italian giallo films then this beautiful boxset is a must own & being limited to only 3000 copies I wouldn't wait too long to grab it.

Sadly Halloween has come and gone. I am still trying to get over the fact that I have to wait another 11 months for the spooky Samhain season of tricks, treats and really nutty gothic Italian horror films. Wait! What's that you say? I don't have to wait? Arrow Films recently released a box set just for me featuring a pair of films by two of my favorite Italian directors? Let the celebrating commence!

Edgar Allan Poe's Black Cats box set features two films loosely based on the classic poem by the master of macabre. The first film, Lucio Fulci's The Black Cat stars David Warbeck (The Beyond) as an inspector investigating a series of murders in a small English village. Along the way he meets a photographer named Jill (Mimsy Farmer) whose post-mortem photographs may hold some evidence that a frisky feline might be responsible or at least hold the key to these murders. Also included is one of several expertly crafted giallo films by Sergio Martino, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key. This classic mindbender stars Luigi Pistilli (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) as an abusive, alcoholic writer who tries convincing his wife (Anita Strindberg) that he is not responsible for the odd murders that keep occurring in and around their sprawling villa. His mysterious young niece (the astonishingly beautiful Edwige Fenech) comes to visit and tries to find out who is responsible for the murders as well.

What can I say except that this box set is one of the best releases I have seen in a long time. It hasn't taken long for Arrow to win me over and I have to say they are probably my favorite DVD/Blu Ray releasing company around now. Their Criterion-level care for obscure, yet usually brilliant, films is a dream come true for fringe film lovers.

he Black Cats from Arrow Video is just a strange collection. Not that the pairing is completely unnatural; both movies originate with the classic Poe tale of terror, The Black Cat, but when Arrow first announced this set, I have to admit I was confused. Why wasn’t Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key paired with The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh aka Blade of the Ripper? That seemed like the normal partner. Both movies by Sergio Martino. Both movies star the ever lovely Edwige Fenech, and Your Vice is a sequel to Strange Vice. Meanwhile we have Fulci’s The Black Cat. I adore this movie. It is often attacked for being a solid mess of a movie, but I think the story is clear, the acting is fantastic and the score is perhaps the best music to write to next to the House on the Edge of the Park score. What I’ve come to realize after watching both movies in this double feature is that the connection between Fulci and Martino is strong and almost a strong connection can be found in the foundations of both features over the relationship between the Martino pictures put together.

The Black Cat is a clearly a Poe driven story, more clearly related to the source material than Your Vice. It’s heavy on graphic violence and strange, unique death scenes which are pure Fulci. Combined with almost out of place supernatural imagery and a psychic storyline, you can almost find The Black Cat a home in the Gates of Hell trilogy rather than as a standalone adaptation. It’s true that Fulci takes liberties with the original Poe story which works out deliciously for fans. At times you’ll feel as though you are wandering through the movie, unled, exploring the movie as a detective in a near cop drama, but the moments of pure Fulci madness, eccentricity and exploitation will bring you back to center.
