D Rahul Raj Jsd It's the 4th of October, and tonight's feature is Cat Sick Blues, which is one of my top favorite films from year 2016. It's a psycho killer cat drama, filled with disturbing, bizarre and splatter scenes, with dark, funny, slow motion and nightmarish sequences, plus an amazing soundtrack that makes you feel very 80s, and really goes very well with flow of this extreme feature. If any one of you who are fans of disturbing and extreme horror have not seen this movie, I highly recommend it to you.
Michael Ledo Ted (Matthew C. Vaughan) puts on a cat costume and appears to be randomly killing people, for reasons that are revealed later, or sooner if you read Amazon's description. Claire (Shian Denovan) is raped and her Internet sensation cat is killed by her rapist. She needs support for the lost of her cat. Here is where she meets Ted.The film is strangely different. The sound track is off-beat and at times is annoying as in during the dorm killings. Perhaps the theme of the film is that the lost of a pet is a reason for not having one. This film is not for everyone and is on the "concept" side of filming, but not really an art film, just bizarre. Winner of 2015 Best Australian feature, director and actress at A Night of Horror International Film Festival. The film had a few good scenes, some that didn't work, and others that were downright bizarre like the dorm killings and that whole long sequence near the end.Guide: F-word, sex, rape,, nudity (Danae Swinburne, Shian Denovan)
Paul Magne Haakonsen From what I read on the synopsis and some of the reviews here on IMDb, then I decided to sit down to watch "Cat Sick Blues", because it did seem like it might actually be odd enough to actually be good.However, I was wrong. "Cat Sick Blues" fell far outside of what I consider to be a properly entertaining movie, and it was just way too bizarre and slow paced for my liking. And I can't claim to have found any interest in the storyline or the characters portrayed in the movie.The movie is about a deranged man's urge to kill people and transform himself into a cat in an attempt to bring back his dead cat.Weird! And it wasn't even enjoyable weird, not in any way. There just wasn't anything worthwhile in watching a nerd in a red shirt and a cat mask wearing an oversized strap-on dildo while killing people. It was just a sad excuse of a movie.I made it through just about halfway before I just lost the will to go on. And it was either watch something else or start using my mobile phone, so I opted for watching something else, because not even the dialogue in "Cat Sick Blues" proved to be fun or entertaining.As for the acting in the movie, well I am sure that people were doing adequate jobs, but it just didn't take a hold with me, and I wasn't impressed with what I saw.With no intention of returning to finish "Cat Sick Blues", then I am rating it a mere two out of ten stars, given the fact that it did have some fair enough production value to it.
Pawn12 I was one of 142 backers on Kickstarter that helped Dave Jackson and Andrew Gallagher raise $14,500 to make their debut feature film Cat Sick Blues. Every cent of that money is visible on screen.It's a confident first film. It is well shot and sometimes very creative, experimenting with black-and-white, slow motion, reversed footage, etc. The acting is better than any other low-budget horror film that I have seen in a long time – Matthew Vaughn is very creepy as the 'Catman', and Shian Denovan is solid as the other lead. It should also be mentioned that the music is diverse and incredibly effective. Really, there's was a lot to love about this film.Admittedly, some of the dialogue felt a little clumsy, and it jumped around a lot tonally. These were just minor quibbles though.The special effects were really impressive. It's a pretty violent, gory film – lots of severed heads and big barbed cat dildos. This lead to a lot of memorable images – A black-and-white scene featuring a trunk and bizarre catman will stay with me for a while, as well as the excellent hostel massacre.I also wanted to mention the ending. The plot takes an unnecessary detour in the last 15 minutes, stumbling after a strong run. The idea itself is sound and could have been effective if shortened, but is too overlong to feel worthwhile. Despite this, in its final minutes the film is able to recover and ends on a sad, satisfying note.I really hope they are able to find a distribution deal for this little gem. If you are able to see it at some point in the future at a festival or after its eventual release, I highly recommend that you do so. You won't regret it. Hell, even if you do regret it, I'm sure you'd agree that Jackson and Gallagher are filmmakers that will be worth keeping an eye on.
