Felidae

About This Movie

Felidae is not your typical animated flick. Directed by Michael Schaack, it blends horror and mystery in a way that’s pretty dark for a cat-centric story. The animation has a gritty, almost surreal quality that complements its themes of instinct and survival. The pacing can feel deliberate, giving you time to absorb the chilling atmosphere as Francis, our protagonist, delves into the eerie world of feline murders. The voice performances add depth; you can almost feel the tension in the air with each interaction. What really stands out is how it tackles heavy themes, like morality and the nature of violence, through the lens of cats. It’s a unique entry in the animation genre that sticks with you, in an unsettling sort of way.
