the thirteenth night in the lonesome hooptober day 29 film 25 cat: 1

78/100

cat-egory iii material for kids who need something more intense than THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE. Lam Nai Choi follows up RIKI-OH with this relatively mushy and effects-lite* sci fi horror mystery as one hell of a mic drop for his CV. it picks up more from the same pot of whatever Choi was cooking with SEVENTH CURSE, for what it's worth. the animal standoff sequence is a gift to humanity and should be regarded as an honorary looney tunes segment the cutaways and stand-in shots are absolutely perfect. shares a good amount of dna with THE HIDDEN, whether by choice or happenstance, but similar schools of body horror push the narratives behind each one in their own weird little ways. if i ever had kids i would show them this.

*thanks to the incredible practical effects this movie is very mushy.
