[Jean] Hersholt is particularly effective in his brief appearance as the mysterious doctor... Lawrence Grant is splendid as the lawyer. Go to Full Review Alfred Rushford Greason Variety 07/09/2020
The creepy thrill value is still there, but in the translation from silent to sound it has been badly slowed up. Go to Full Review Age Staff The Age (Australia) 07/09/2020
The Cat Creeps, the audible picturisation of John Willard's successful stage play, The Cat and The Canary, provides good entertainment with plenty of thrills. Go to Full Review Martin Dickstein Brooklyn Daily Eagle 07/31/2020
Even if the current talkie version [of The Cat and the Canary] had been handled more skillfully than it has it would still be doubtful whether the midnight episodes in the old mansion could be today anything more than mildly exciting movie material.

A weird mystery drama, filled with thrills and with considerable comedy. It is well acted and well presented and it keeps one in suspense to the very end. Go to Full Review Star Staff Washington Star 07/09/2020
There is no doubt that the "talkie" far surpasses the silent movie in its ability to produce thrills. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
