InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

climbingivy "Eye Of The Cat" is also know as "Wylie". I do not like the name Wylie.I cannot imagine Michale Sarrazin as a man named Wylie.Not in a million years!"Eye Of The Cat" was filmed on location in beautiful San Francisco, and that aspect gives this movie a terrific quality.Universal Pictures made this movie and you can tell.The color and the cinema photography are gorgeous.Universal films especially in the 1950s had gorgeous color.The cast is excellent.You have Gayle Hunicutt who is not that well known, even today.She was a real beauty,sleek and gorgeous like Barbara Parkins.You have the versatile, handsome actor Michael Sarrazin who was under rated as far as I am concerned.My favorite actor in this movie is the drop dead gorgeous Eleanor Parker.I have not seen a movie yet that she did not excel in.Remember Eleanor in some of the earlier Hollywood era movies with leading men like Robert Taylor.This movie has it all.Suspense,lots of scary cats,a nutty older aunt,and lovely to look at San Francisco scenery.I almost forgot, a cat fight between two women!I have this movie.I have the version that has multiple cats chasing Gayle Hunnicutt's character down the stairs.

Neil Doyle Joseph Stefano (who wrote the script for PSYCHO), is responsible for this script which is fine until about mid-point when the story starts to fall apart. He drops the theme of terrifying cats for awhile and then has them emerge once more just for the rather hokey climax.But it's stylishly done. You can feel Brian dePalma's influence on director David Lowell Rich right from the opening montage of cat stalkers against colorful backgrounds. There's a stately elegance to the home of the rich wheelchair bound widow (ELEANOR PARKER), a home where she is presumably being protected by numerous felines roaming around freely. She needs protecting. Seems her hairdresser (GAYLE HUNNICUTT) is scheming with Parker's nephew to kill the woman and get a hold of her inheritance which she threatens to leave to the cats unless she is able to locate her missing nephew.It's a good little thriller with some edge of the chair moments that grip the audience, but none of it seems too plausible with stilted dialog and overly melodramatic moments that seem terribly contrived.For suspense and the compensation of watching Eleanor Parker in one of her latter day roles, it's probably worth viewing. Just don't expect anything on the level of PSYCHO.

Tom Silvestro Just saw a beautiful theatrical print of "Eye of the Cat" for the first time last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Most of the reviewers have already said what I wanted to say, but I wanted to mention my favorite part of the movie: the menacing and evil music whenever they show the main cat. The cat is just so adorable that when combined with the macabre music it just comes off as laughable. Aside from some campiness, this movie is entirely engrossing and was amazingly shot - the opening De Palma-esquire split-screens are fantastic and San Francisco has never looked so beautiful. It's a crime that this movie isn't on DVD!

hayman42 I just caught a screening of this movie at BAM in Brooklyn last night. I only went because I was given free tickets and dig horror flicks, so with no expectations and my only knowledge being "it has an army of cats," this movie blew me away. I was totally entertained, alternatingly laughing and jumping throughout. The film is shot beautifully, has a great score, the dialogue crackles, and the cast perfectly walks the line between camp and horror. The vaguely incestuous scenes between Wylie and his Aunt Dani are particularly great.Of course, the best part is the cats! I was promised an army of cats, and this movie delivered. They truly make the average housecat look like a fierce creature of the night.A fun horror movie through and through. Please release this on DVD!
