Review: Two mediocre stories from the masters of horror.
The plot: two novels by Edgar Allan Poe.
In an unfaithful wife and her lover simply can not kill the old, but a very rich husband.
The second, on the contrary, a mad husband (Harvey Keitel) bricked my Zheng with a black cat in the wall.
The first story was done by George Romero (Dawn of the Dead and Survival of the Dead), Dario Argento (The Card Player and The Cat o’ Nine Tails) and the second. Both are made in retro style, so that they may well be on the pictures to the class in the 70’s that the honor of this movie does not. He lightly nudnovato too old-fashioned, and deprived of all stories on the charm when they are in our time.
The stories of Edgar Allan Poe was the best of the mediocre, but their “revived” for its stunning Gothic atmosphere. Here, the charm is missing, but Romero and Argente still tried to bring to the movies something. Romero-old zombies, Argente sinister black cat.
In general, you can watch, but only to fans of classics, and those who hate cats. In the second novel cats so tormented, that one wonders how they reacted to the committee for the protection of animals.
