This review contains a Kitty Carnage Warning!
Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: A businessman (Tomorô Taguchi) finds himself slowly turning into a metal monster after hitting a strange man on a bicycle with his car.
Kitty Cameos: The businessman lives with three cats in his home, two tabbies and a white cat. The cats are seen under his table while he is on the phone.
Kitty Carnage Warning! The hit and run victim seeks revenge by turning the businessman into a bizarre metal / human hybrid and the power affects everything in his home, including the cats who are seen being morphed with the metal themselves.
Eventually one cat turns into a metal monster, performed by some kind of puppet. The special effects involving the cats are brief and it doesn’t appear as if the cats are being injured in any way.
Final Mewsings: Cats and metal shouldn’t mix.
Many thanks to Nick Wale for letting us know about the cats in this film!
