TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Chase_Witherspoon The inimitable Hugo Stiglitz and his trademark cheekless beard prowls the sunny skies of tropical Acapulco in his private chopper, stalking impressionable damsels to date, strangle and subsequently feed to his thousand-head cattery. Hugo always looks most comfortable intertwined with the body of some lusty European/American (imported) actress on the other side of her hey day, and his frequent collaborator Rene Cardona Jnr delivers a smorgasbord of tail for him to plunder in this somewhat Gothic-psycho- sex pic. As an aimless, expressionless (another Stiglitz signature) independently wealthy playboy, he randomly courts four or five women of various nationalities (it's difficult to keep count), but his piece de resistance (almost literally) is the yummy-mummy Anjanette Comer, whom he hovers above whilst her well-to-do husband (Russek) is off earning the dough. Temptation soon becomes too much for her to bear, and so another opportunity emerges for Stiglitz to add to his pickle-jar collection. Fantastically absurd with a plethora of bare butts and tan lines, copious amounts of cognac, a pantry full of severed heads and the incessant meowing of a thousand hungry felines to clear up the scraps. Simple and mildly effective lusty Latin horror.

stairmaster The moment I saw "Night of 1000 Cats" in the bargain bin of my local Wal-mart, I was perplexed. Why was such a promising looking movie being sold in so degrading a fashion? Out of curiosity, I bought it on impulse, and let me tell you, "Cats" is worth every penny of its price, and more so.The plot follows a young playboy billionaire named Hugo, who flies around what may or may not be a Mexican city in his helicopter seducing beautiful women and the occasional little girl. Hugo is so charming, he can seduce women without even having a conversation with them, all he needs is his helicopter and his winning smile. But there's a catch, for Hugo is not truly a Casanova, he is more of a CATSanova, for he is the owner of 1000 bloodthirsty cats, and once he is satisfied with his women, he feeds them to these voracious felines.And now for my review. "Night of 1000 Cats" is truly a film masterpiece, and I am shocked at the low ratings this film has garnered on this otherwise esteemed site. Those who gave this a low rating should go back to watching the sellout, brain-dead pap that Hollywood normally pumps out. I suppose, however, that most people can not appreciate this movie as the pure work of art that it is. It is the Mona Lisa of film, and it distresses me that people's tastes have deteriorated so much.Hugo, or as I like to call him, the Catsanova (the reason I rated this as a 9 instead of a 10 was because I feel Rene Cardona Jr. really missed a great opportunity to use this brilliant play on words in the movie) is one of the most interesting characters in cinematic history. We never really know much about the character. He apparently has no job, and like all other characters in this movie, he rarely speaks (a brilliant minimalistic decision on the part of the director). We are led to assume his Catsanovic ways all began after his mute Mongolian butler killed one of his girlfriends. Tragically, he took the wrong path after this, and decided to buy 1000 cats so that he could feed women to them. This was truly a tragic, yet natural decision that I think many other men in his position would take, myself included admittedly. We can see the Catsanova's anger and internal anguish occasionally when he randomly tosses a nearby cat over a 12 foot tall cage wall and later when he drowns a cat in his swimming pool. A foolish viewer would claim these scenes were pointless and didn't make sense, but they would be dead wrong, much like the Catsanova's women friends.The direction in this movie is impeccable. You can really understand the movie's symbolism when, during a sex scene, the camera zooms in quickly, dramatically, and repeatedly into the faces of stuffed rabbits, bears, owls, and mooses the Catsanova keeps in his bedroom. This likely symbolizes the Catsanova's descent into the natural animal instinct to feed his sexual partners to cats. Another cool trick the director pulls is adjusting the focus until everything gets blurry. You can tell that Rene Cardona Jr. was very inventive, as no other director is talented enough to bring a shot from clearness into unfocused mystery. Another compliment I have to give Cardona is his reuse of footage. In the ten to twenty minute helicopter seduction sequence for example, Cardona demonstrates incredible efficiency by reusing the same few shots over and over. Overall, "Night of 1000 Cats" is a must see movie, and will change your life. The movie has a very important moral: "If you become rich, avoid the temptation to feed women to flesh- eating cats."9 out of 10

EyeAskance Eccentric tycoon ladies' man uses his private helicopter to prowl female rooftop sunbathers. Once he gets them to his crumbling stone mansion for a dinner date, he sexes them up before adding them to his "collection"(a row of glass jars containing pickled human heads...the victims' other remains are fed to his pit full of ravenous kitties). This is actually a semi-stylish junkyard horror outing with a few effective sequences. The story, however, is rather convoluted and comic-bookish...more discerning horror fans may find the goings-on a bit juvenile. That said, I still maintain that this is worth a look, especially if morally unsound oddities are your bag. With a bit less restraint in bloodshed and boob-shots, this could have been near-classic stuff.5.5/10

insomniac_rod A very disturing Mexican Horror movie. I was skeptical before watching it but I was pleasantly surprised with the movie's situations. The plot is something I'm sure you haven't seen!*Spoilers* A very rich man has a gotchic castle and inside an army of 1000 cats slaugher and eat anyone that enters it. His castle is guarded by a weird bald hunchback man called Gorgo or something like that.This man "collects" beautiful women's heads inside crystal cages.That's pretty much everything you have to know about "La Noche de los Mil Gatos". The acting is quite good (lots of beautiful women!), the direction is regular, the score is very effective, and the make-up is surprisingly good.The ending is very creepy! WIth close-ups of the heads and the thousand cats running outside the castle. Good Horror Mexican movie! Worth a watch.6/10.
