Jeffrey Combs (RE-ANIMATOR) stars as Edgar Allan Poe, a writer tortured by debt, drink, and his dying wife. But what is most haunting to the writer is his bride's creepy cat, an animal that's seemingly possessed by evil. Thanks to the cat's behavior, Poe's own actions become increasingly deranged while he is inspired to write one of his greatest stories. THE BLACK CAT continues the terrifying tradition of MASTERS OF HORROR with its inspired pairing of RE-ANIMATOR director Stuart Gordon and Combs, the film's star. [More]

Reviews for Masters of Horror - Stuart Gordon: The Black Cat
One of the most creative Poe adaptations you're likely to come across.
The Black Cat is often quite gory, but Gordon never loses sight of the crux of the story, which is about the disconcerting suspense created by an unreliable narrator.
