This mediocre horror anthology concerns author Cushing's attempts to sell a manuscript to skeptical publisher Milland that maintains that cats are plotting to take over the world. In order to persuade Milland, Cushing tells three stories involving cantankerous felines. In the first, set in foggy London, the eccentric and quite wealthy Greenwood is eaten by her pet kitties. In the second, a girl shrinks to tiny size and is terrorized by her now-giant cat. The final episode follows a pair of Hollywood actors (Pleasence and Eggar) who are trying to murder one of their spouses, only to have a cat interfere. The good cast, unfortunately, isn't served by the spotty material. Director Heroux would go on to produce ATLANTIC CITY (1980) and QUEST FOR FIRE (1981). leave a comment
