I’d long wanted to see this. I’ve heard about it for almost as long as I’ve been aware that movies existed, and finally the opportunity arose to see it at a local theater. It did not disappoint. It was clearly shot on a low budget, but what they lacked in visual effects they more than made up for with psychological drama and suspense. Is she really a cat? Will she kill her romantic rival? Can a T-square be used as a crucifix in a pinch? The answers to these questions and more lie within!
Meanwhile, while I was riveted, my wife fell asleep. She said she didn’t know it was going to be a black & white movie because when she Googled it the picture was in color. I know, I know. At least she’s not a cat.
