The Black Cat (1966)



Hemisphere Pictures
Directed by Harold Hoffman
My rating: BOMB
IMDb 
(Blu-ray, Severin)

Low budget adaptation of the Poe story. Man receives a black cat from his wife, then proceeds to mutilate and kill it. His alcoholism drives him further into insanity and he turns his violence towards his wife. He hides the body behind a brick wall in the basement, and when the police come looking... well, you know the Poe story. The narrative is occasionally interrupted by scenes of a dated rock group performing in a bar for no apparent reason.
