Review of The Psychic

The Psychic (1977)
10/10
One of the best giallos!

Warning: Spoilers
Truly a masterpiece of giallo genre and one of the best Fulci movies! From start to end, it relies heavily on plot and various details in plot that can twist your imagination and lead you to different conclusions. The most interesting thing is ingenious original title, made in a classic bizarre giallo type: "Seven Notes in Black" which basically rounds movie perfectly (won't mention why because of spoilers but when you see movie you'll catch it). It is truly sad that title is changed for international release :(

From start to end, this little gem will force you to watch it with constant "brain work" about finding connections between visions and situations that happens around main characters.

Hard Fulci fans would be disappointed because of very little gore scenes - but this movie doesn't need gore - it is "light" giallo with suspense, atmosphere and nice twists and turns and that's enough to see that Fulci can make something good even without buckets of blood.

Highly recommended!
