Baby Cat

First you need to find and watch the absolutely worst movie Ed Wood Jr. Ever made. Then imagine a movie three hundred times worse than that and you will have Baby Cat.

It's absolute junk disguised as a movie. It's so bad that about a quarter of it is filmed in front of a green screen with images added to pretend to be the out doors, or other stuff. And people in their basement on youtube do a better job.

The direction is the pits. Some scenes are actually edited to zoom in on the action AFTER they were filmed. It's disorienting and unprofessional.

To be fair, the cat is hot, even if she does the worst cat impersonation on the planet Earth. But hot isnt enough to get over the horrible production "values," the lack of professional direction, the poor script and the lack of acting on a level above 3rd grade.

People who are giving this 10's or even 8's either didnt see the movie, or worked on it. There is no way anyone can give this a good score. It's dismal filmmaking at it's worst.

This movie came up randomly while watching Tubi and first I didn't like it but it held my attention. The rest of the day I kept thinking about it. The scenes between the protagonist and the cat were strangely touching so I am rewatching as I write. The actress impersonating the cat does such a good job. The weirdness is on par with David Lynch's strangeness without the all-consuming darkness and focuses on human connection instead. I like that the protagonists are female and queer and how the random misogyny at her awful job highlight the disconnect in her life.

What I don't like is that the score drowns out the dialog in a lot of scenes. And how long it took to reveal the connection between the parallel plot lines.

This film will make you question your sanity.

Dana (played to perfection by Natalie Cotter) moves into her new apartment and adopts the neighborhood cat.

Except it's not an actual cat but a scantily clad young woman dressed as a cat.

Meanwhile, her job is a joke, she's broke and her love life is . . . Well, okay, her job is only a joke because her boss holds meetings with invisible employees and her co-worker doesn't try to explain it.

And then she falls in love with the cat. And it's hot sapphic passion at first but falls into the trap of ordinary couples--is there more to this relationship outside of sex? Does Lori, the cat , want to get married or have kids? The telegrams she mysteriously is able to send before having such a conversation tells very little about her feelings. But it does explain the goings on in the neighborhood.

Trust me.

There's also a drug war going on that Dana sees on the news and apparently some mysterious being is responsible for taking out the notorious drug cartels. I won't spoil that connection, but it did make me clamor for a big budget remake starring Amy Schumer and Anna Kendrick with stunt choreography by the John Wick team.

But Hollywood needs to keep their hands off this one. It's the low budget weirdness, down to the moving chroma key background that really makes this story work.

And props to a groundbreaking performance by Socks Whitmore as a transitioning non-binary person, played perfectly straight, no pun intended. Lisa London also shines as the mom.

This is the kind of film that Cinema Epoch had been known for in its inception from Mad Cowgirl to Blue Dream. Hope they keep it up!

The plot description of this film is certainly something different and quite original to a degree. About a woman moving into a new area then falling and having a romance with a woman dressed in a cat outfit.

Was expecting this to be a comedy or something quirky with laughs but the overall product is just bizarre and comes off as different for the sake of trying something out of the box. More so cringe and offbeat than actually funny.

The lead actress of Dani is severely miscast and not likeable. The actress playing the woman dressed as the cat (Fawn Winters) does a solid enough job given the role. She does show skin in several scenes, first starting around 23 minutes.

These independent filmmakers seem to think that anything they create that isn't the norm is considered art.

First the budget is noticeably cheap looking especially with the green screen for several background scenes. There are random scenes involving a delivery guy, other scenes with a character named Max whom constantly has their shirt open underneath. Other random scenes involving these crime lord men type people- which does get connected in the end but for the most part are bizarre.

Overall the story was simply bizarre and not much explanations were had (Why did people ignore the cat woman behaving like a cat? How long has she been doing this gimmick? Was her falling for the lead genuine?)

If you can look past the worst green screen work I've ever seen, the acting, script, nonsensical dialog , and non-story...you may enjoy this "movie" . There's a hot actress as the "cat" and that's about the only redeeming factor. If its meant to be a softcore porno, it's def not that...its more like a mishmash of scenes that make little to bo sense.

All the bad editing and sfx are soo distracting and if it was done slightly better it would make up for this.

Clearly a production with no real experience or eye for filmmaking...I would avoid this unless your having a "bad movie night" then it may be just right!
