Cat Sick Blues

Cat Sick Blues has a really Interesting and unique Storyline. It shows what a mental trauma can do to humans. Even It is considered as a Horror/Slasher it has also some Drama Elements and some really violent scenes. Overall Cat Sick Blues is a fine Independent Horror Film and in terms of something new and clever its definitely better than most mainstream Hollywood Horror Films. If you have a sense for Horror and Extreme Cinema I can recommend It.

Thanks to social media, I've probably seen almost as many comical cat videos as I have horror films. With Cat Sick Blues, director Dave Jackson merges the funny feline phenomenon with the extreme horror genre to deliver a very gory and uniquely disturbing experience to surprise, disgust and delight fans of truly twisted cinema.

Jackson opens his film with two girls passing time getting high while watching performing pussycat Imelda, the star of their favourite online video channel. Their fun is interrupted, however, by a psycho killer in a rubber cat mask, who decapitates his victims and collects their blood in jars.

The action then moves to the apartment of Claire (Shian Denovan), owner of internet sensation Imelda, who answers her door to a fan; this proves to be a big mistake when the visitor accidentally kills Claire's kitty and then proceeds to rape the distraught woman.

Unable to get over the incident, Claire visits a group for grieving pet owners (as opposed to a rape crisis centre), where she befriends Ted (Matthew C. Vaughan), unaware that he is the cat-mask wearing killer (now with taloned gloves and a foot long prosthetic cat penis as part of his ensemble) who has been hacking off the heads of local women in the belief that their blood will somehow revive the corpse of his beloved moggie Patrick.

With a totally unique killer (in addition to his creepy cat costume, Ted also mewls like a cat to add to the unsettling effect), lots of gore (severed heads, a smashed face and slashed throats that spurt gallons of blood), some sly commentary about all that is wrong with social media, and a general sense of the macabre, Cat Sick Blues is one of those films that has to be seen to be believed and which is hard to forget.

If you are like me and can separate make believe carnage from real life carnage, this movie is a real treat. The protagonist is a lovely female who posts popular cat videos on the internet. She gets in a bit of pickle when she finds love from an unexpected male consort.

Absurdly demented and thoroughly gut wrenching--you have to keep telling yourself it's only ketchup it's only ketchup it's only ketchup.

Both a novel concept and horrendously dark, I give 10 out of 10 dismembered cats on this one. Only for the horror aficionado and those into dark soul-crushing irony.

Bravo, blood-splattered champion, bravo.

Disappointed with how awful Megan is Missing was, I decided to give this movie a shot in early 2021. I went into this movie completely blind and needless to say, I was stunned once the credits came on screen. With how grotesque and odd this movie was, I was left speechless. For it being produced with such a low budget, the gore was nicely done along with most of the acting. The sight of actual cats playing in the movie gave a kind of comfort for the few seconds they appeared. It had such a unique story and characters, although there were aspects of the film I could have done without such as the cat pen*s Ted wears along with the random episodes he has throughout. I'm not a huge horror fan so I may just be being picky. The reason I rated this movie so low on the chart is because this is the first movie that made me physically ill, giving me a massive migraine. F it hadn't made me sick however, I would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a bizarre storyline and some gore.

Now there seem to be a couple of short movies - which I have not watched, so can't say or tell you what to make of them. But they all seem to have the main role (baddie) in common. I reckon the theme is similar in them too. You have someone who lost his cat and is ... well "mourning" in a way that is not really good for others. And that is putting it mildly.

There is a lot of sick stuff here, some can be seen other things only heard. Like the sexual attack our main heroine has to endure. Right after something horrible happens to her cat. One of the major issues being that the acting talent is not enough to convince us of much here.

On the other hand, it is not like the script is super tight or the direction would remind one of any great horror movie legend either. Now not everyone can be the best in what they do - or it may also be the lack of money the movie had (or didn't have). There are some interesting concepts and ideas ... but the production values are not helping.

This feels a bit like amateur hour, but it has some bright (violent) spots. Overall disgusting and appalling - which you can see as a badge of honor or as something you are not going to watch for sure. That will be up to you. But it never goes as extreme as other movies have gone (there is one scene in particular where our main bad guy is rewatching a video tape and it seems like was going to do something horrible in the video ... but we cut away or rather he rewinds to a different place/timecode, to watch a different kind of sick moment instead)
