Movie Reviews of The Cat O'Nine Tails

Movie Review: An early gem for Dario Argento - a superior Giallo
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a GREAT Dario Argento movie. James Franciscus & Karl Malden star in this giallo where a killer has to kill before being exposed to having a chromosome imbalance - which would cause him to lose his job. This has a ton of suspense, some gore, and the killer isnt so easily revealed. I found the story interesting and the characters to be likable and gave very strong performances. I watch this one over and over.Great film, great transfer, this to me is a great movie to see if you're new to Dario Argento Giallo movies. This one as well as Bird with the Crystal Plumage are 2 of my favorites as well as Deep Red which is my favorite of all the Giallos he did that contained graphic gore (his early stuff wasnt nearly as graphic)

The Classic Shocker from DARIO ARGENTO, Director of THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE and SUSPIRIA

When a simple robbery at a research institute leads to a series of brutal murders, a blind puzzle maker (Karl Malden of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) and a tenacious reporter (James Franciscus of MAROONED) begin their own investigation of the crimes. With nine different clues to follow, they uncover a shocking web of twisted genetics and dark sexual secrets that will finally lead them to a shattering climax of violence and suspense.

Originally released in 1971, THE CAT O'NINE TAILS secured the international reputation of director Dario Argento as `The Italian Hitchcock.' This is the definitive version of Argento's masterful second film, now fully restored from its original camera negative and presented completely uncut and uncensored.
