Sinopsis(1)
Una pareja en viaje de luna de miel, viajan en tren por las tierras de Budapest con destino a Wiesegrad, para después dirigirse a Gombos. Debido a un error de la ferroviaria, deben de aceptar hospedar en su vagón privado a un huésped, el doctor Vitus Werdegast, psiquiatra. Aunque a regañadientes, y para evitar que el intruso se quede en el pasillo toda la noche, aceptan. Una vez juntos, el doctor Vitus les dice que va a Wiesegrad a ver a un viejo amigo, pero por la expresión de su rostro no parece tener muy buenas intenciones. Durante el transcurso del viaje, la joven pareja se queda dormida, momento que aprovecha el doctor para acariciar la cabeza de la desposada. Pero el marido lo ha observado todo... (Divisa Home Video)

A period horror routine that, while it impresses with the meeting of two acting legends and stands out for what at the time were highly unusual futuristic themes, is flat and uninteresting to the point of shame. If it weren't for Karloff and especially Lugosi, who once again oozes charisma, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. 50%

As a horror film, this film has already lost some of its charm, but there is still the great design of the house in which the story takes place and, above all, the electrifying Karloff-Lugosi duo in the role of hidden enemies. As Caligari has already written, the German Expressionism inspiration is more than obvious, and the film's charm has persisted for many years...

Boris and Bela exchanged murderous glances and lines laden with an indeterminate Eastern European accent in this simple variation on Dracula (or Nosferatu). Despite the attempt at humour, including one unusually mature moment of genre self-reflection (a newly married couple parodying their host), The Black Cat is laughable rather than funny and charmingly naïve rather than having any kind of charm. 60%
