Caught between the truth and a murderer's Hand!
A break in at a genetics lab leads to a spiralling vortex of bloody murder in The Cat O' Nine Tails, Dario Argento's 70s Giallo classic.
Strange circumstances surrounding the crime pique the interest of a journalist and a blind crossword compiler whose sharp ears have overheard talk of blackmail. However, all the would be investigators soon regret the help they gave as scientists die in front of speeding trains and photographers are viciously slain while others fall to their screaming deaths down elevator shafts in this surreal and nightmarish thriller from one of the acknowledged masters of Italian horror.
As the body count increases, will no one escape the sting of The Cat O' Nine Tails?

Reporter James Franciscus and blind puzzle fan Karl Malden team up to track down a killer of scientists in this classic Dario Argento thriller. Argento, himself, was never a fan of his film, claiming that it was too American in style. Argento clearly needs to take a look at American films of the period, as there was nothing like "The Cat O'Nine Tails"! Franciscus shows what an underrated actor he was, and Malden is first rate in a fine serial killer thriller that looks good on blu ray. As you'd expect from Arrow, the special features are extensive and interesting. A must buy for Argento fans.
