One of the worst films to come out of Denmark... EVER. Please, do not waste time nor money on this. Martin Schmidt has done two films previously to this "Sidste Time" which is excellent and "Mørkeleg" which is crap, but not as much crap as "Kat".
The blurb called this the story of Maria's fear that "her boyfriend's cheating on her" raising a "psychic connection to a series of bestial killings..." For me, from the very start, it was about owning a cat, about noisy upstairs neighbors, about friends who, as of course they very well ought to, know their weird-seeming relations better than one can oneself. This is a film that uses the mundane to create its horror. So it's much scarier than dreck like the American "Ring."An excellent touchpoint is "Cat People."
This has to be one of the best horror films of 2001! Not only is it surprisingly fresh and original at times, it's really scary as well. The story is simple, yet complex and the actors are great! It is also a beautiful film in terms of cinematography and set design. When that white cat steps out of the shadows and we get to see it's mussels move as it is closing in on it's victim, that's pure genius! My interest in Danish horror has risen at least 200%! Keep it up!
I have seen this movie Kat and was quite entertained. It might not be the most innovating horrormovies, but still better than the string of teenagescreamflicks that has hit us lately. The movie is based on a book by Steen Langstrup, but there´s not much left of the original story. Which is a shame because the book is better than the movie. But still Kat is an entertaining movie. No more and no less.
