the black cat (1981)

AKA Gatto Nero.
"Cats take orders from no one."
A small English village and a Scotland Yard detective Inspector Gormley (Dave Warbeck) is sent to investigate the disappearance of a young couple. He soon finds that there has been a number of bizzare accidents in the village, accidents that continue to happen. Along with a crime scene photographer, Jill Travers (Mimsy Farmer), the detective begins to suspect the involvement of Robert Miles (Patrick Magee), a local psychic. Then Jill notices a number of the victims have scratches on them, much as if they had been attacked by a cat!
An atmospheric horror film where Fulci tries to funnel the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, rather than his usual gorefests.
