 SEVEN
DEATHS IN THE CAT’S EYE (Blue
Underground) 1973. 95 Minutes. Not rated.
Lots of blood and lots of naked women, just like a good Italian
giallo should be. Fresh out of a convent school, Corringa returns to the
family castle. Actually
she’s been kicked out of school and since she’s played by the
extremely hot Jane Birkin of Blow Up fame, we have a large amount of eye candy to appease our
perverted desires. If the kinky goings on in the castle isn’t enough,
somebody starts slaughtering everyone in the place.
And it’s starting to look like it could be a … vampire?
Who could be responsible? The
French teacher with lesbian tendencies?
The son and master of the castle who makes obnoxious seem like a
pleasant term? The list of
suspects is bizarre and whittled down slowly one by one as they get
slaughtered. What about the
gorilla in the window? At
least I think it’s a gorilla.
Seven Deaths in the
Cat’s Eye gives us sumptuous colors and a deliciously delirious
storyline that if you miss a minute, you’ll be scratching your head for
days and be forced to watch the whole thing again.
Directed by Antonio Margheriti of CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE Cannibal
Apocalypse infamy, this is a fully restored, gorgeous uncut print that
proves what I have been saying for many months now; Blue Underground is
trying to get all of our money. I
have no problem with that. -Douglas A. Waltz
