The Shadow of the Cat

CriticsCritics: 44
AudienceAudience: 6.5

Tabitha, once the placid, gentle and devoted pet, adopts all the characteristics of a ferocious, wild animal following the murder of her mistress. The three guilty people are all trapped by the cat's power and each will come to untimely deaths of horrific proportions without anyone being able to solve the mystery that surrounds their brutal death.

My take

A noir-tinged psychological thriller that stalks the murky boundaries between reality and paranoia. This 1961 film casts a long, unsettling shadow—perfect for those drawn to classic suspense with an edge of the uncanny.
