Eye of the Cat (1969) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a free spirited young man who is scheduled to receive everything his rich aunt has in an inheritance as she lies on her death bed. She recently changed her inheritance to him from her household of cats. As she prepares to sign the documents he arrives at his aunt's estate and warns the young lady with him the cats are more than just cats...she's about to discover what he means.

This movie is directed by David Lowell Rich (That Man Bolt) and stars Michael Sarrazin (Frankenstein: The True Story), Gayle Hunnicutt (The Legend of Hell House), Eleanor Parker (The Sound of Music), Tim Henry (Aliens vs Predator) and Linden Chiles (The Green Hornet).

This storyline is very unique with fantastic characters, settings and circumstances. I was thoroughly impressed with how unique and unpredictable this movie is. They created some cat feeding frenzies that were fun - though the car scene made me uneasy, like a clown car filled with cats. I will say the main character was annoying, and the reading of the will scene was kind of sad but the ending is perfectly executed and worthwhile. There's an awesome wheelchair scene in this too.

Overall this movie isn't perfect but it is entertaining and unique. I would score this movie a strong 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
