Critic Reviews of "The Black Cat (Le chat noir)"
Village VoiceOctober 20, 2016Wildly expressionistic, the movie has nothing to do with the Poe story from which it takes its title and everything to do with Ulmer's sense of the Nazi menace.
TIME MagazineOctober 19, 2008A dismal hocus-pocus which seems to confuse its actors as much as it fails to frighten its audience.
VarietySeptember 26, 2007Story is confused and confusing, and while with the aid of heavily-shadowed lighting and mausoleum-like architecture, a certain eeriness has been achieved, it's all a poor imitation of things seen before.
Chicago ReaderSeptember 26, 2007Ulmer never again had the budgetary resources granted him by Universal (at the time, Karloff and Lugosi were two of the studio's biggest stars), and he makes the most of them.
New York TimesAugust 08, 2006More foolish than horrible. The story and dialogue pile the agony on too thick to give the audience a reasonable scare.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006Sumptuously subversive... one of the very best horror movies Universal ever made.
Observer (UK)October 14, 2014This bizarre, utterly irrational masterpiece, lasting little more than an hour, has images that bury themselves in the mind.
Radio TimesOctober 06, 2013This timeless classic is a testimony to the craft of director Edgar G Ulmer before his career lurched into the quickie arena.
CinePassionJuly 03, 2010Edgar G. Ulmer's grandest danse macabre, a magnificently sustained trance
ESplatterOctober 15, 2008No monsters but lots of atmosphere, this is a classic of the genre.
