Catty Bete is an intriguing blend of drama, fantasy, and horror that leans heavily into atmosphere. Mariel Haickel's direction really captures the eerie tranquility of Bete's life with her 50 cats, creating this almost cozy yet unsettling ambiance. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as secrets about her family surface, especially with that cousin's arrival. The performances are quite striking, particularly from the lead, who embodies a mix of innocence and looming dread. Practically, the effects are simple yet effective, emphasizing the psychological horror lurking beneath the surface. What sets this film apart is its exploration of isolation and the bonds between humans and animals, wrapped in a haunting aesthetic.
