Shadow of the Cat

Gato lives on a remote farm with his teenage daughter Emma where without even basic communications tools they’re entirely cut off from the outside world. But once Emma comes into possession of a phone, she’s contacted by a party claiming to be working on behalf of her mother, who her father claimed abandoned her at birth. Infuriated, Emma heads off on a journey of self-discovery to reconnect with her mother, all the while Gato and his best pal Sombra (Danny Trejo) race to rescue her from the grim fate she’s unknowingly heading towards.

My take

A haunting indie thriller that explores the blurred line between reality and psychological torment, following a protagonist whose grip on sanity unravels in the presence of an unsettling feline mystery. The film operates in murky atmospheric dread, best appreciated by those seeking cerebral horror with an art-house sensibility.
