Movie Night! – The Black Cat
Get tickets to see the classic movie The Black Cat on the cafe side @The Scratching Post CU!
Hosted by Film Fanatic Club as part of their SHOCKTOBER Horror Film Festival.
About the film
A delirious pre-Code horror classic, this 1930s nightmare is less a traditional monster movie than a collision of German Expressionism, Art Deco modernism, and pure cinematic weirdness. Its bold imagery, sinister eroticism, and gleefully macabre tone make it one of the strangest and most visually distinctive horror films of the classical Hollywood era. For fans of cult cinema, pre-Code Hollywood, and movies that seem to have escaped from another dimension, this is an essential big-screen discovery. The real attraction of this rarely seen gem is the legendary pairing of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, reunited after The Mummy and given characters that allow their contrasting screen personas to collide spectacularly. But the film belongs just as much to Edgar G. Ulmer, whose strikingly economical direction wastes no time plunging audiences into an atmosphere of ominous architecture, occult obsession, sexual tension, and escalating madness.
Content Warnings: Horror violence, murder, occult imagery, Satanic themes, torture, nudity, and disturbing imagery.
