The Cat (1992)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
There is shades of THE THING, THE BLOB and THE TERMINATOR in this not very good but enjoyable (for good and bad reasons) sci-fi/horror film. The plot is about an old man, a young girl and her cat who are in fact visitors from another planet who came to Earth in order to stop a killer from outer space. I have no idea what Waise Lee is doing is such a low budget exploitation flick. The directing (from "STORY OF RICKY"'s fame Nam Lai-choi) is very uneven and the special effects are, most of the time, very cheesy (even according to the usual HK standards). But there is a fight scene between the cat and a dog which worth the rental price, just imagine for a second a cat doing a body-slam to a dog and you'll get the picture....
