Synopsis

Two horror tales based on short stories by Edgar Allan Poe directed by two famous horror directors, George A. Romero and Dario Argento.

"The Facts in the Case of Mr Valdemar": Jessica Valdemar and her lover Dr Robert Hoffman have placed her aging husband Ernest in a hypnotic trance in order to get him to sign the papers for his estate over to her so that they can get his money. But while in the trance Valdemar dies. However because he has died while hypnotised, Valdemar’s body remains alive.

"The Black Cat": Photographer Rod Usher takes a dislike to the black cat his girlfriend Annabel adopts. He strangles it, photographs the corpse and publishes the photo in his book ‘Metropolitan Horrors’. Annabel reacts in horror when she discovers this and Usher is driven to kill her with a meat cleaver. Afterwards he plasters her body up inside a wall. But when neighbours force police to investigate, Usher is given away by the cat he has plastered up inside the wall too.

Awards: 1991: Avoriaz International Fantastic Film Festival: nominated to Grand Prix (Best Film).
