Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A group of FBI profilers-in-training find themselves the target of a sadistic killer who has laid traps for them on the island where they are having their last exercise.
Kitty Carnage Warning! A word of warning up front that if you don’t like seeing dead cats in films you probably won’t want to watch this one. In the opening scene and later on the island there are dead cats (as well as other animals in the first scene) strung up by the killers. The second one contains clues and the scenes are graphic. We won’t post any photos from these scenes but take out word for it, it isn’t pretty.
Cat Cattle Call: The Naval island where the profilers go to hold their final assignment of training is full of feral cats. They are seen running from place to place whenever the team is out and about in the fake town. If any explanation is given for this large feral cat population we didn’t catch it.
Kitty Cameo: One notable cat appearance happens when the team has been drugged and are laying around one room. A white cat peeks into the room.
The cat gets up on the table and sniffs around one of the sleeping agents.
Another agent wakes up and claps his hands to scare the cat away.
Final Mewsings: The Navy apparently hasn’t solved the problem of cat overpopulation.
