I recently watched the Mexican horror film 🇲🇽 Night of 1,000 Cats (1972) on Prime. The storyline revolves around a wealthy philanthropist who travels the countryside picking up women, wining and dining them, and then feeding them to his cats.
Directed by René Cardona Jr. (Under Siege), the film stars Anjanette Comer (The Baby), Hugo Stiglitz (Nightmare City), Zulma Zaiad (Guns and Guts), Christa Linder (Hot Snake), and Teresa Velázquez (The Rape of the Sabines).
Overall, Night of 1,000 Cats is a moderately average film with some redeeming qualities. The acting, dialogue, and storyline are passable, though not exceptional. The kills lack creativity and fail to leave a lasting impact, despite the potential of featuring numerous cats which wasn't as impactful as intended. However, the sets and dungeons are visually appealing and well-crafted, while the unique torture devices add an intriguing element to the film. Additionally, the cast includes attractive actresses, with ample nudity throughout.
In conclusion, Night of 1,000 Cats may only appeal to diehard fans of the horror genre. I would rate it a 4.5-5/10 and recommend it with appropriate expectations.
