'The Cat with Hands' doesn't use them for clapping!
I am an honest to goodness cat person. A cat whisperer if you will. If your family has a cat and it doesn't like strangers I can change its mind and it will soon be nestled on my lap. But this? This short from 2001 [yes, yes. 2001. ScreenAnarchy wasn't around then so you'll understand why we're late to the party] by director Robert Morgan- this is one of four shorts to his name- called The Cat With Hands has me second guessing my skills. I may not be the gifted scratcher of cat ears I thought I was. I think they've been sizing me up. Watch and you'll see why.
As brisk as a nursery rhyme, The Cat with Hands is a twisted tale (so deliciously Grimm) about a well-dwelling cat that steals human body parts. That's where the hands came from, see? Amazing how creepy the film manages to be just by attaching our normal limbs to the body of a household pet. Narrated by a single voice throughout, the story takes the shape of a freaky folk tale, and even has the campfire-style twist to go with it. This ghoulish concept originated from a recurring nightmare the director's sister used to have when she was young, which stacks another evidence for children being the best source for all things messed-up.
Thanks to Avery for the heads up. It is an oldie but a goo-oodie.
