Interesting idea, poorly executed.

The idea of splicing the cat's genetic material with Grieco is an interesting idea (similar to Cronenberg's Fly remake), but it just isn't carried off real well here. What could've been a nice little exploration into the psyche of a human who is picking up the traits of a cat, is instead just boring.

Richard Grieco is Purrrrrrrrrfect in this movie!!

As a Gay Man I find this movie very erotic and Richard Grieco is simply Purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect in it. Grieco is great to look at and a very naughty boy here.I hope that it comes out on DVD sometime soon as VHS copies go very quickly on ebay and amazon.com.A great movie to watch with the one you love, Highly Recommend.

bit good story line .. but bad acting , bad performance . bad ending. just

Even the movie comes in Erotic thriller but still it lacks more sex or nude scenes. everytime those sexy music comes i thought there will be some hot scenes but nada.

Most women would find it FUN!

I admit it, I like looking at Richard. You get a lot of him in this movie. I also love Science Fiction and cats. I wouldn't change a thing. Sometimes you just have to sit and relax and be the voyeur. This is a little movie that went straight to video but it gives you more than the standard B.

Richard Grieco slowly becomes a nasty stray kitty cat

I have to confess that this movie is a guilty pleasure for me. Richard looks wonderful and the idea that his evil is the result of getting an ornery cat's brain kinda works. The shirtless dance scene that he is doing for a film where a women friend teasingly wets him and he FREAKS is kinda fun, as is the final cat-and-mouse chase with the woman.

His acting in this movie is actually interesting. You can tell he is a bit of a cat lover. If you like Richard at all and don't mind seeing him play an off-beat, almost Hannibal Lecterish villain (whose is really a tomcat), check it out.
