Sadly Over-hyped
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
I can not understand that such good actors will be in such a miserable movie Kat is to date the worst horror movie I have seen. Zentropa Entertainments should be ashamed to publish such a movie. It's simply bad with bad effects, etc. There should be a law prohibiting sending such a crappy movie into cinema and DVD.
Clichéd, tiresome psychological thriller/horror movie with a one-note central performance by Liv Corfixen, whose titular feline is accidentally possessed by a demon, when it happens to gate-crash an occult seance by the upstairs neighbours. Eventually it turns into a panther-like monster, attacking targets of its owner's jealous rage, like her two-timing boyfriend (a miscast Martin Brygmann) and her ditto roommate (Charlotte Munck). Only Pilmark as the cop on the case manages to rise above the material and emerge unscathed from this incoherent and unintentionally funny piece of dreck. After the risible teen-horrors "Sidste Time", "Mørkeleg" and now this, the time seems ripe for director/horror buff Martin Schmidt to try his hand out at other genres.
I have seen this movie Kat and was quite entertained. It might not be the most innovating horrormovies, but still better than the string of teenagescreamflicks that has hit us lately. The movie is based on a book by Steen Langstrup, but there´s not much left of the original story. Which is a shame because the book is better than the movie. But still Kat is an entertaining movie. No more and no less.
I am the writer of the novel, that KAT is based upon. I feel the need to speak up for this movie. I do find it to be too far away from the book, but this is a very scary movie anyway. I see it as one of three most scary movies to have been made in Denmark ever. It is by far the best Martin Schmidt-movie up to this date.The music made by Gary Chang is brilliant.
