This review contains a Kitty Carnage Warning!
Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A private nurse named Kara (Elizabeth Roberts) moves into a house with her two children to care for a man with multiple sclerosis (Bruce Davison), unaware that an evil entity in the form of a giant spider is stalking them.
Featured Feline: Kara’s children Jessie (Arman Darbo) and Cambria (Chloe Perrin) are adjusting to their new home. Jessie gives Cambria a bowl of canned soup unheated since there is no microwave. Cambria then hears a cat meow and gets excited, hurrying outside with the bowl. There she finds a stray tabby cat.
Cambria sets the bowl down and the cat reluctantly starts to eat. Jessie says the stray cat is probably diseased but Cambria gets mad and insists the poor thing is just hungry.
Jessie relents but warns Cambria not to let the cat into the house. She pets the cat and says she is going to call him Mr. Whiskers.
Later Cambria goes outside with food and calls for the cat but he doesn’t come. We see Mr. Whiskers has somehow gotten into the attic of the home.
Mr. Whiskers spots a rat and starts to stalk him.
Kitty Carnage Warning! Unfortunately it turns out the spider is stalking Mr. Whiskers and jumps down onto him, biting him. This is the last we see of the cat.
The animal wranglers on the film were Susan Benedon and Titus Reynolds working for Gentle Jungle, Inc.
Final Mewsings: Cat actors don’t appreciate having fake spiders dropped on them.
