Mordaunt Hall New York Times [Jean] Hersholt is particularly effective in his brief appearance as the mysterious doctor... Lawrence Grant is splendid as the lawyer. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Alfred Rushford Greason Variety The creepy thrill value is still there, but in the translation from silent to sound it has been badly slowed up. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Age Staff The Age (Australia) 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. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Martin Dickstein Brooklyn Daily Eagle 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. Jul 31, 2020 Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports 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. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Star Staff Washington Star There is no doubt that the "talkie" far surpasses the silent movie in its ability to produce thrills. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
