If this was any other director, I would probably have given this a higher rating, but this is Fulci and, frankly, we expect better things.
A mad old guy - played by Patrick Magee, the guy in the wheelchair from A Clockwork Orange - owns a cat, which he uses to kill people he isn't too fond of, but gradually the cat develops a mind of its own and is not so easy to control.
I'll admit, there are some spooky moments, and the effects occasionally border on the gross - though nothing compared with his more famous work - but overall it has the feel of an above average Hammer movie.
Not bad, but not great either.
