The Cremators (1972)

by Linda Kay

Directed by: Harry Essex

This review contains a severe Kitty Carnage Warning!

Synopsis: An alien ball of fire floats around absorbing people.

Kitty Cameo: In the opening credits a hippie named Mason (Mason Caulfield) is running along the beach. Suddenly he has a black cat which he is swinging around, looking for all the world like he is part of some inter-species rom com.

Kitty Carnage Warning! The poor cat probably died of embarrassment because the only time he or she shows up again is when Mason brings him in a near-dead state to his doctor friend who proclaims nothing can be done and proceeds with an autopsy to find the cause of death.

Final Mewsings: Cats typically do not like going for a run on the beach, at least not like this!

Many thanks to Melanie for letting us know about the cat in this film.
