 Seven Notes in Black: Classic Fulci Thriller April 21, 2009
feratu
This is a very tense and well directed film in (roughly) the supernatural-giallo realm with some Poe-like elements. At times maligned for his later gore films, Fulci really delivers loads of suspense with this one, proving that when it comes to coherent storytelling and tight direction he is miles above his peers Argento and Bava. Not much blood in this one, but when there is gore he makes it count. Those expecting a zombie brain feast may be disappointed, as this movie owes more to Hitchcock than Romero. The scene in the church balcony? Classic.

Watching the beautiful Jennifer O'Neill is one of the many treats of this truly great cinematic experience. "The Psychic" suprises in the typical giallo style, but it is so much more. It literally transcends the genre and becomes a truly psychological masterpiece. Lucio Fulci casts a spellbinding trance and never lets the viewer go.
Having seen many of Lucio Fulci's horror/gore flicks done after this amazing title, I wish he could have made more of these slice of death flicks. The only complaint which is slight; the audio on the Severin disc is relatively low. I had to really crank up my hi-fi. One of Fulci's best movies. Highly recommended.
 sound was awful April 30, 2008

Very poor film with even worse transfer to DVD. I literally had to turn up the volume to its loudest just to barely hear what was being said. This movie stinks now and even by standards of the day it was made it stinks. I'm afraid that's the kindest I can be to this film.
 Terrible DVD transfer! February 9, 2008

Just have to say the transfer for this DVD is terrible. There all these lines all over the picture, especially when there is any movement. It's terribly jarring and ruined my enjoyment of this Fulci giallo. If you can't see these lines, I'm going to assume you didn't watch it on an HDTV. I'm quite annoyed with Sevrin for releasing this shoddy project. It's unfortunate that Blue Undeground or the old Anchor Bay didn't get this license, becuase they would've found good transfers for it! Sadly we have b-rate companies like Shriek Show and now Sevrin who just want to do a lazy job and collect a quick profit instead of preserving these genre films for future generations. Save you money and go buy some Fulci films from Blue Underground instead.
I must also say I found this Fulci giallo to be over-rated and pretty boring at points. However, I can't make a a confident review of it since my enjoyment was obviously effected by all those lines on the screen. However, I will say that A Woman in the Lizard's Skin and Don't Torture a Duckling are probably far superior to it at this point. Hopefully, some day this film and Lizard will get a decent DVD release.
A Mesmerizing Edge Of Your Seat Puzzle ! January 18, 2008

Lucio Fulci's almost forgotten gem "The Psychic"(aka:Five Notes In Black) is not only one of the maestro's most brilliant pieces of cinema but it's more so proof that the god of gore could make a thriller just as creepy as "The Beyond","House By The Cemetary" and "Zombi 2" with out large amounts of blood and gore. Dardano Sacchetti penned up a whopper of a giallo here and Fulci and the rest of the film crew(actors/musicians/editors/costume designers and such) did a mesmerizing job bringing Sacchetti's story/screenplay to life. As a big Lucio Fulci fan I am more than delighted to add this masterpiece to my collection. Great film!
