Clichéd, tiresome psychological thriller/horror movie with a one-note central performance by Liv Corfixen, whose titular feline is accidentally possessed by a demon, when it happens to gate-crash an occult seance by the upstairs neighbours. Eventually it turns into a panther-like monster, attacking targets of its owner's jealous rage, like her two-timing boyfriend (a miscast Martin Brygmann) and her ditto roommate (Charlotte Munck). Only Pilmark as the cop on the case manages to rise above the material and emerge unscathed from this incoherent and unintentionally funny piece of dreck. After the risible teen-horrors "Sidste Time", "Mørkeleg" and now this, the time seems ripe for director/horror buff Martin Schmidt to try his hand out at other genres.
... View MoreThis has to be one of the best horror films of 2001! Not only is it surprisingly fresh and original at times, it's really scary as well. The story is simple, yet complex and the actors are great! It is also a beautiful film in terms of cinematography and set design. When that white cat steps out of the shadows and we get to see it's mussels move as it is closing in on it's victim, that's pure genius! My interest in Danish horror has risen at least 200%! Keep it up!
... View MoreI have seen this movie Kat and was quite entertained. It might not be the most innovating horrormovies, but still better than the string of teenagescreamflicks that has hit us lately. The movie is based on a book by Steen Langstrup, but there´s not much left of the original story. Which is a shame because the book is better than the movie. But still Kat is an entertaining movie. No more and no less.
... View MoreI am the writer of the novel, that KAT is based upon. I feel the need to speak up for this movie. I do find it to be too far away from the book, but this is a very scary movie anyway. I see it as one of three most scary movies to have been made in Denmark ever. It is by far the best Martin Schmidt-movie up to this date.The music made by Gary Chang is brilliant.
