Evil Cat

About This Movie

Evil Cat (1987) is one of those quirky gems that blends comedy and horror with a bizarre premise. The Cheung family has this wild curse where they have to deal with a cat demon every 50 years. It’s a bit zany, especially with Master Cheung fretting about his own health issues while trying to pass the torch to a newcomer. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but that just adds to its offbeat charm. Practical effects for the demon cat are surprisingly fun, with a few laughable moments that lean into the camp. Performances range from earnest to downright ridiculous, making it an interesting watch. It's the kind of movie that captures that late '80s vibe without trying too hard.
