The Black Cat (Le chat noir)
Description
Karloff and Lugosi are both excellent, with Lugosi doing a rare turn as a good guy, albeit one who has gone off the rails.

No monsters but lots of atmosphere, this is a classic of the genre.
October 06, 2013
This timeless classic is a testimony to the craft of director Edgar G Ulmer before his career lurched into the quickie arena.

Story 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.

Karloff--Lugosi--Karloff--Lugosi...
September 26, 2007
Ulmer 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.

This bizarre, utterly irrational masterpiece, lasting little more than an hour, has images that bury themselves in the mind.
October 20, 2016
Wildly 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.

Edgar G. Ulmer's grandest danse macabre, a magnificently sustained trance
New York Times
August 08, 2006
More foolish than horrible. The story and dialogue pile the agony on too thick to give the audience a reasonable scare.

A magnificently eerie entry from the early days of Hollywood horror.
October 19, 2008
A dismal hocus-pocus which seems to confuse its actors as much as it fails to frighten its audience.
February 09, 2006
Sumptuously subversive... one of the very best horror movies Universal ever made.
