Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Police Lieutenant Krebs (Dennis Hopper) is a respected officer who secretly kidnaps a erotic dancer named Gina (Asia Argento) and holds her in his basement to “save” her.
Kitty Cameo: After Gina has been imprisoned for a while she becomes more and more desperate. She sees a longhair tabby cat sitting outside the glass block window and begs the cat to go for help. “I’ll give you a rat!” she offers. The cat runs away.
Later a woman named Ruthie (Helen Shaver) breaks into Krebs’ home and is about to leave when she notices the same tabby cat sitting outside the window. The cat looks up at Ruthie then moves away as she approaches.
Final Mewsings: Cats won’t help imprisoned women for less than two rats.
Many thanks to Mark Murton for letting us know about the cat in this film.
