Robert Miles is a psychic that can communicate with the dead. He also has the ability to control the mind of his cat (who incidentally is black). He uses the cat to take vengeance upon his enemies. A photographer who happen to be working for the local constables begins to notice cat scratches on some of the accident victims that are turning up. She pays a visit to Miles (kitty just happens to be present) and conveys her suspicions of the cat's involvement in some of the local deaths. Kitty doesn't like this at all, and it's his turn to control the mind of owner Miles to take it's vengeance out. 黑猫总是恐怖片喜爱用来营造恐怖氛围的手法，但真正将黑猫作为杀人工具的题材却寥寥，本片可谓将黑猫杀人情节发挥到极致，杀人过程的画面剪辑也有些向希区柯克致敬的意味，逼真骇人。
