The Doomsday Machine (1972)

Directed by: Harry Hope, Lee Sholem

This review contains a Kitty Carnage Warning!

Synopsis: A Doomsday Machine threatens the Earth while a manned space mission to Venus goes awry.

Kitty Cameo: At the beginning of the film a female spy (Chia Essie Lin) is carrying a cat outside the walls of a guarded building. She peeks around the corner to see a man with a guard dog standing watch.

Kitty Carnage Warning! She carries the cat further down and the wall and then suddenly tosses the poor feline over the top! This distracts the dog and guard so she can get inside. We don’t see what happens to the cat and it does not appear again.

Final Mewsings: We sure hope the poor cat had somewhere soft to land on the other side of that wall!

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