The vampire genre gets an injection of 70s giallo glamour thanks to a cast which includes Jane Birkin, Hiram Keller and Anton Diffring in Antonio Margheriti’s Seven Deaths In The Cat’s Eye. This compelling chiller is set in Scotland where, in a crumbling old castle, its inhabitants are being bumped off one-by-one. Could the legend of a vampire haunting with in its cold walls be true and is it the cause of these mysterious deaths? Gothic with an infusion of erotic charm, the film also contains an undercurrent of social commentary. Look out for Birkin’s singer/songwriter friend Serge Gainsbourg in a cameo as a police Inspector.
