Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Aggressive use of real cats looking vaguely annoyed on cue.

Acting

Kathleen Quinlan commits harder than this material deserves.

Best for:Friends: Irony-forward group watch with beverages and running commentary.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while occasionally glancing up.·Rewatch: Annual tradition for dedicated bad-horror enthusiasts.
Heads up:Violence: Cat attacks are more comedic than graphic; minimal blood.
