Catnado

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!

First of all, this is an anthology. Making this an anthology was a wise decision, as no segment would ever manage to stand on its own; what is a bit sad is that no segment can even carry a 10-minute slot.

This movie has to be seen in light of its $100,000 budget. While this certainly doesn't buy advanced CGI effects, such things aren't needed. Paranormal Activity had a budget of $15,000; The Blair Witch Project $60,000; El Mariachi $7,000. The problem isn't the budget; the problem is the movie lacks heart. Some stories have concepts that could have been entertaining, but the scripts are barely coherent. Apart from the woman in the very first scene managing to keep a straight face when describing what a "catnado" is, the acting is atrocious at best.

To pull off a micro-budget movie, you need a plan. You need to love your pet project, have fun with it, and be creative! This movie, however, was made with absolutely no effort, no plan, no vision, and no love. It's sad, but this movie should have been aborted at conception.

For a movie titled "Catnado", there's a definite shortage of cats - and an abundance of cats really is the only thing that could have redeemed this litterbox full of turds.

The 90+ minute film is broken up into 6 or 7 stories, but even so, it still manages to be insufferably boring and about 90 minutes too long.

Yes, it's a spoof and is meant to be ridiculous, but spoofs are also supposed to make fun - and therefore be funny - not bore you to death.

While some movies are so bad (whether intentionally or not) that they become amusing, this isn't one of them; It's just plain bad. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Ever since i saw this movie ive been having nightmares, i wake up in a cold sweat screaming and run to the window to check for catnados. Ive heard stories of this happening in the past, cats being spotted in tornados and tearing up any who cross their path. I had a girlfriend who ghosted me suddenly, im certain a catnado got to her. A few days later she was out with another man but its not her, no one believes me but i have evidence to believe shes possessed by a cat whos intent on hurting me. She acts normal with everything except she doesnt love me now, and that has to be the work of the devil, those cats...

Ever since ive started uncovering the truth about the 'nados everyone has started to leave me, they call me crazy they say ive lost it out of grief. But they dont understand that i know theyre just influenced by the sly tongue of the cats. Im so scarwd for them i want them to live and be saved like me. How can i help them ?
