- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2017Title: SEVEN DEATHS IN THE CATS EYE (1973)
Label: 88 FILMS
Tranfer by: Italy (?)
Aspect Ratio: 2.35 : 1
88 FILMS released a BD set of the atmospheric SEVEN DEATHS IN THE CATS EYE. Newly transferred from the original camera negative. The Movie is an interesting mixture from gothic tales, Agatha Christie like story and some elements from Gialli. The visual style tends towards the ROGER CORMAN flicks starring VINCENT PRICE. There is a nice and relaxed old-school feel to it. Camera work, lightning, atmosphere, costumes, actors and sets are satisfactory. Give it a try.
No Grain Baby, No Gain / The Transfer:
So fancy the movie itself is set in scene so bad is the transfer done. There is absolutely no depth and texture to it and the figures tend to be so smooth as an eel. You guessed it. Heavy DNR filtering has been applied here. As a result you have a loss on every and each side: contrasts are so low. Level of Detail: nope. Colors seem to be false the darker the segments are. This transfer is dead. Its absolutely no fun to watch an a big screen. On the contrary it is downright stressfull because nearly the whole movie is set in place in dark environments. Sorry. No stars here. This is 2017!
Cut and Run:
The scanned source material is integral. NO noticeable inserts from different sources have been applied. I find this to be so damn important for a perfect filmic enjoyment. The movie is uncut.
Final Thoughts:
Fans, collectors and people with bigscreens or projectors should think twice. If you already own a relatively well done release like the BLUE UNDERGROUND DVD I cant recommend an update at this point. What a pity. I think this movie and our home cinema systems including our cinematic trained eyes deserve better treatment.
Statement:
My ratings refer exclusively to technical aspects of BD sets. The more filmic / photographic a movie looks and feels via bigscreen projections and the more authentic to its camera negative (or other sources) the movie is scanned and digitally treated afterwards, the higher the ratings will be.
I do not rate movies at all. I just watch them and I think of them as artificial pieces of work where many efforts have been taken (including complex postproduction) to accomplish a vision of whatsoever kind. No movie ever shot has earned a 1 star rating on AMAZON or a 1 point rating on IMDB. Anyway, I could rate them because I have studied in private many publications about making films, their psychological impact, and the subject violence on film. And because I am a hobby photographer for years now I know much about frame compositions, color composition and different styles and so on. I am interested in the arts in general. I am also a hobby musician and sound designer with a little studio. So I even could rate the filmical scores. But hell...why should I? Things are what they are and nothing more or less. I like to think beyond mind constructed terms like good and bad. So called "objectivity" becomes fast diluted by personal preferences which results in comments of personal taste. And that should not be the base for a rating-scale which claims to be universal. When it comes to technical aspects thats a different kind of thing. DNR, edge enhancement or block noise and such things are obvious on big screens and we can speak of objectivity and measurability.
All about Ev(m)e:
I am a collector of films for about 27 Years, own about 3.000 films (would be far more, but I often sort out transfers I dont like) and watch them in a home-cinema room via bigscreen projection. I am also a hobby musician and photographer with some experience scanning camera negatives in high definitions. I am fascinated by films from reels since I am a kid and spent hours for hours in cinemas and visiting film festivals.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2021Creepy gothic chiller including rats, bats, secret passages, and a maniac creeping around the place trimming the guests one by one. The castle, and crypt area are quite eerie. 88 films picture quality is great. It stars Jane Birkin and Anton diffring. There's not much nudity or gore. Definitely worth viewing
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2017Yes, I did enjoy the film, I have always been a lover of horror films.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 201788 Films blu ray release:
I won't delve into the plot which you will probably have read in other reviews. This horror film might be all right for the pre-pubescent audience but it's certainly no thinking man's horror. The acting is all too often wooden (although I accept that this may be partly due to an unsympathetic dubbing of the original actors' voices into English that lacked the correct intonation or feeling to match the predicaments). The technical quality of the dubbing however was very good - ie, the English words fitted the movements of the actors' mouths well. The dubbed Scots accent was well short of the mark and sounded most amusing - something you don't really want in a horror picture! And why dub Anton Diffring's voice in English? He could speak English (he stared in several British horror films). To have his familiar voice replaced with an alien voice came as an unpleasant surprise. The interior sets of the castle were unconvincing. Rooms in a real castle would be far larger than those portrayed on the film - perhaps a constraint of the size of the film studio used? Photography was good with some good lighting, especially an occasional green tint on some actors' faces in the castle which was well judged. The editing and 'subject placement' or centring lacked care resulting in framing not being what is anticipated by the viewer, making the editing anything but transparent.
Restoration was fair to good but I expected better from the camera original negative as claimed. There are certainly better examples of beautiful restorations out there (UFO, The Professionals, The Sweeney and others).
As to the actual horror itself, the director has little idea how to horrify his audience! Lack of build up. He needs to add SUSPENSE to the film, not just throw in gore without any plot build up. He needs to take a leaf out of Hitchcock's book.
This film was so poor I could not play it to the end - it was just wasting my time. A highly disappointing film which offered very little horror . The film begs the question of how this director actually became a professional director as the film felt semi-professional at best. A complete waste of time and money in my modest opinion. I will not be buying any more films from this director.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2018Interesting atmosphere, good giallo.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2018I can’t stress enough how boring this movie is, more talky ridiculous dialogue, absolutely laughable, a guy running around in a gorilla suit who by the way is described as an urangutan, boring tedious constant roaming around the castle, embarrassing performances throughout, the cat was the best actor in it. Why bother releasing such unadulterated crap, never again will I sit through anymore early Italian giallo, unless it has been directed by the wonderful Argento. Felt as if I needed medication after sitting through this appalling time wasting rubbish.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2017Hadn't heard of this one but so glad I had the chance to see it. Lots of weird characters and a great cheesy score. Bagpuss also make an appearance. A little gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blu ray di qualità più che buona
Discreto tardo gotico di Margheriti contaminato col giallo, dalle splendide location.
Più che buona la qualità tecnica del blu ray della 88 films.
Audio inglese e italiano con sottotitoli removibili.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seven Deaths In The Cats
Non capisco come hanno potuto trovare i finanziamenti per fare i films di questo livello, capisco che jl genere "giallo" di per sè tende ad una semplificazione, però così è troppo.
- Leroy JacksonReviewed in the United States on 20 January 2022
2.0 out of 5 stars It was OK, but there are better Italian Giallo films
The quality of the picture was ok.
To me, the story wasn't very interesting...I'll keep it, but won't recommend it
If you want to see a good Italian thriller, try "Blood and Black Lace", "Black Sabbath" "Planet of the Vampires"...all directed by Mario Bava. IMHO, his best was 1959's "Black Sunday"
