Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique Eye of the Cat mixes conventional murder melodrama with suggestions of the supernatural to create an intriguing if oddball mixture. It is not a perfectly balanced cocktail, but if you swallow it whole, it will get you buzzed. Rated: 3/5 Jan 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

helder f There isn't one single word that could define this movie, because it's a bit all over the place. It's comedic, but probably not intended to be. It's captivating in that it displays a certain beauty of the 60s. As to what was actually intended, it's hardly a horror movie.. It might have been a horror movie back then but now is outdated to have that effect. There isn't anything actually frightening except if you despise cats or fear them. The cats are inserted in a great manner into the movie, very natural and seamlessly for the most part. The depiction of her emphysema is not very accurate. The script is fine, except for its end which is not much of an end. Perhaps there was a hope for a sequel. All in all, it did pass the time, and it's rather pleasant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review nick s I didn't sit through the whole movie. Just didn't find it very engaging. The acting wasn't the worst I've seen but the script wasn't too great. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Kitsch a mas no poder, lo ùnico bueno es la escena de la silla de ruedas y el ataque del gato. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful Campy Gem--For those who appreciate this type movie, it's a gem!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Eye of the Cat is an old horror movie that appears to have two different versions. The one I saw only really has one cat but I have read other reviews that mention multiple cats...either war it is the same movie just different releases. Eye of the Cat has its moments but it never takes hold of any and runs with them. The acting is cheesy beyond belief and the conclusion of the movie is baffling and hard to understand. All said not a waste of time and good for a late night bored out of your mind flick but nothing more.
