I've just watched The Black Cat (1934) (en español aparece como Satanás), by Edgar G. Ulmer, and i have to say that it was amazing.

(Spoiler alert)

It's a mixture of strangeness, indignation, confusion and tension.

Since the beginning you feel that strange feeling, that something is wrong. But when you see that couple passing the door of that house you definitly know that they are not going to have a good time.

I find it very disturbing that scene in the basement when they show you all those women, specially when you found out about Werdegast's wife AND DAUGTHER (?!?!?!?!?!!!

I like the theory that these movie represents a fight between good and evil, or maybe beetween god and satan. But is also obvious that the context of The War and its consequences are reflected in the background.
