Excellent but underrated film
A Masterpiece!
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ted (Matthew C. Vaughan) puts on a cat costume and appears to be randomly killing people, for reasons that are revealed later, or sooner if you read Amazon's description. Claire (Shian Denovan) is raped and her Internet sensation cat is killed by her rapist. She needs support for the lost of her cat. Here is where she meets Ted.The film is strangely different. The sound track is off-beat and at times is annoying as in during the dorm killings. Perhaps the theme of the film is that the lost of a pet is a reason for not having one. This film is not for everyone and is on the "concept" side of filming, but not really an art film, just bizarre. Winner of 2015 Best Australian feature, director and actress at A Night of Horror International Film Festival. The film had a few good scenes, some that didn't work, and others that were downright bizarre like the dorm killings and that whole long sequence near the end.Guide: F-word, sex, rape,, nudity (Danae Swinburne, Shian Denovan)
This movie is about a man, Ted, who loses his beloved pet and misses it dearly. His life spirals downward and it's up to his friend Claire to help pull him out of his depression. He begins dressing up as a cat, and entertaining strangers with his funny and witty cat-like impressions. Finally Ted feels like he can let go of his estranged pet and move on with his life. I won't spoil the ending, but this movie is great for the family and cat lovers alike.
From what I read on the synopsis and some of the reviews here on IMDb, then I decided to sit down to watch "Cat Sick Blues", because it did seem like it might actually be odd enough to actually be good.However, I was wrong. "Cat Sick Blues" fell far outside of what I consider to be a properly entertaining movie, and it was just way too bizarre and slow paced for my liking. And I can't claim to have found any interest in the storyline or the characters portrayed in the movie.The movie is about a deranged man's urge to kill people and transform himself into a cat in an attempt to bring back his dead cat.Weird! And it wasn't even enjoyable weird, not in any way. There just wasn't anything worthwhile in watching a nerd in a red shirt and a cat mask wearing an oversized strap-on dildo while killing people. It was just a sad excuse of a movie.I made it through just about halfway before I just lost the will to go on. And it was either watch something else or start using my mobile phone, so I opted for watching something else, because not even the dialogue in "Cat Sick Blues" proved to be fun or entertaining.As for the acting in the movie, well I am sure that people were doing adequate jobs, but it just didn't take a hold with me, and I wasn't impressed with what I saw.With no intention of returning to finish "Cat Sick Blues", then I am rating it a mere two out of ten stars, given the fact that it did have some fair enough production value to it.
If you are like me and can separate make believe carnage from real life carnage, this movie is a real treat. The protagonist is a lovely female who posts popular cat videos on the internet. She gets in a bit of pickle when she finds love from an unexpected male consort.Absurdly demented and thoroughly gut wrenching--you have to keep telling yourself it's only ketchup it's only ketchup it's only ketchup. Both a novel concept and horrendously dark, I give 10 out of 10 dismembered cats on this one. Only for the horror aficionado and those into dark soul-crushing irony.Bravo, blood-splattered champion, bravo.
