The movie The Black Cat, shocked me. What shocked me was the endings, and all the brutal scenes that happened throughout the story. I never thought that the movie could be this brutal. All of the effects seemed so realistic expect the ending of the story where Poe killed his wife. Throughout the movie I liked the ending the best. The ending shocked me because he realized that everything he did was just a hallucination.
From the brutal scenes to the ending, this movie was not what I expected. This movie was very brutal until the ending. When Poe's wife began coughing out blood, it creped me out pretty much. I would never think that this movie would send chills up my spine. When Poe murders his wife with the axe, I thought that it was fake. Poe's wife should have fallen down and just died instantly, but instead she was moving around trying to get the axe off her face. When the story ended, it turned out that everything he did was just a hallucination, and that is how he wrote the Black Cat.
Overall this movie shocked me the most due to the horrific scenes that happen during the story. The ending was quite well, except the coughing up blood part. This movie was great and I enjoyed it.
