Cats Kill

About This Movie

Cats Kill is a curious entry in the Giallo-inspired thriller realm. Set against the backdrop of Upstate New York, it unfolds a chilling tale of a local woman with a sinister agenda against tourists from NYC. The film leans heavily into its atmospheric tension, creating a sense of dread that hangs thick in the air. The pacing can feel deliberately slow at times, reminiscent of classic Italian thrillers, allowing the viewer to stew in the discomfort. The practical effects are a standout, with some rather inventive kills that harken back to 70s and 80s slasher aesthetics. The performances, though not polished, carry a certain rawness that fits the film's vibe. It's distinctive in its blend of humor and horror, making for a unique viewing experience.
