Catnado

I had been looking forward to watching this movie ever since I first saw the poster revealed. Sure, I didn't harbor an ounce of expectations to the movie, but I still opted to watch the movie on the off-chance that it would prove to be a entertaining movie, or a movie that was so phenomenally bad that it proved to be fun to watch.

As it turned out, not surprisingly so, this movie was a catastrophe, pardon the pun. First of all, it was an anthology, and those rarely fare well. "Catnado" was not about to deviate from the usual fare of anthologies, and this was a questionable dumpster fire of a movie. Writers Blake Blasko, Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Blair Kelly, Stephanie E. Kelly, James M. Myers, Melvin Pittman, Tim Ritter, Serena Salieri and Jerry Williams didn't exactly manage to put together something enjoyable here. It was cringeworthy to sit through on so many levels.

The acting performances in "Catnado" were all over the place; some of the performers were fully and wholly stripped of acting talents, whereas other performers actually had a shred of talent to them. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in this anthology. And usually I enjoy watching movies with unfamiliar talents on the screen, but there simply was nothing to enjoy about this 2022 movie.

There was one good thing about "Catnado" and that was some woman being interviewed and managing to do the interview in the style of that video with a lady being interviewed in real life some years ago and someone made an autotune song out of her titled "Backing Up". The female actor in the movie here had her speech pattern, voice and mannerisms nailed down to the point where it was actually fun to watch and listen to.

Visually then this was bad. The movie didn't even have proper effects, which would have salvaged it from being a total and utter dumpster fire. The effects were very low budget and looked ridiculous most of the time.

"Catnado" is a terrible movie. And worse yet, is that it isn't even bad in a way that it becomes fun to watch. No, "Catnado" is just a downright horrible movie. Don't bother wasting you time, money or effort on this dung heap; some of us did so you don't have to, you're very welcome.

My rating of this anthology from directors Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Alaine Huntington, Blair Kelly, James M. Myers, Melvin Pittman, Tim Ritter, Jerry Williams and Logan Winton lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

I love a good "bad" indie horror film, but Catnado is just bad!

The DVD artwork itself is pretty cool! It looks like we're getting "Sharknado", but with cats. Unfortunately the movie itself doesn't remotely resemble the cover art.

It pains to give this movie such a low rating. I have typically enjoyed the Donald Farmer movies that I have seen, like I said I enjoy indie horror and I typically keep my expectations in check, but Catnado just doesn't have the elements that I typically enjoy in these types of movies. The cheesy special effects are there, but much of the humor falls flat and the movie just isn't interesting. I suppose breaking things up into 6-7 segments that are written and directed by 6-7 people is part of the issue.

Catnado just doesn't go anywhere. There isn't a strong leading actor or actress to carry the film. Rebecca Rinehart is wasted in a brief role at the beginning of the film. There's so many great actors and actresses on the indie scene today. If they would have brought in some more recognizable names it might have given the film a bit more personality and in turn would have made for a more enjoyable film. A stronger cast could have potentially put this in 5-6 star territory.

If you're not a fan of indie horror you can probably pass this one up with no regrets. If you are a fan of indie horror proceed with caution.

Oh, come on. That one ten star.... not even a mother could love this abomination! Seriously. The missus will watch the STUPIDEST movies... she once enjoyed a movie where ghost sharks appeared out of puddles and office water coolers. Even SHE hated this. We watched MAYBE fifteen minutes of it before even SHE was ready to turn this crap off. I mean... I honestly do not even have 500 characters to express just how much we absolutely HATED this complete waste of digital film. And do you realize just how bad something has to be to claim that it is a waste of DIGITAL BYTES!? Oh good Lord.. STILL 25 characters left!? For the love of all that is Holy... DO NOT WATCH THIS! You have been warned!

We sat down to watch this film hoping that it would be truly awful, and we were not disappointed. The special effects generated on windows 95 were amazing and I could probably find more convincing acting in my local mortuary. There were ups and downs, jump scares and some tears, and we have been left in a permanent state of PTSD from the intensity of this amazing peice of cinematography. . My mate Sylvia threw her cat out the window to see if it flew, but unfortunately that was not to be the case. I hope Cat-nado 2 is just as cat-astrophic and scares he whiskers off of us soon, as this was truly a masterpiece of modern history. I think this is one of the greatest films ever made Also, Ssoft waffle.

Catnado is a bad movie in nearly every way. You can nearly hear the voice some of the times, the stories never combine together so there's like four or five different ways the Catnado started, and in some of the stories drag on for way too long. But that's not for all of the stories. There's so many stories in the movie that made me laugh way too much and made it feel like I was watching some YouTube Poop about people hating/being scared of cats. And whoever wrote those scenes genially needs to make a YouTube channel and make videos with that type of story telling because of how dramatic yet funny it was.
