From Dario Argento,

the Master of Suspense Who Gave You THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE –

The Picture That Out-Psychoed PSYCHO!

When a sim­ple rob­bery at a research insti­tute leads to a series of bru­tal mur­ders, a blind puz­zle maker (Academy Award® win­ner Karl Malden of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE) and a tena­cious reporter (James Franciscus of BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES) 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, pre­sented com­pletely uncut and uncen­sored in a brand-new High Definition trans­fer from its orig­i­nal cam­era negative!
