The Shadow of the Cat
Was it supernatural force or psychotic compulsion . . . that drove five maddened murderers to destroy themselves ?
Directed by John Gilling
Produced by Hammer Film Productions, BHP
A Gothic revenge thriller where a vengeful cat becomes an instrument of supernatural justice, trapping murderers in a cycle of mysterious, gruesome deaths.
Tabitha, once the placid, gentle and devoted pet, adopts all the characteristics of a ferocious, wild animal following the murder of her mistress. The three guilty people are all trapped by the cat's power and each will come to untimely deaths of horrific proportions without anyone being able to solve the mystery that surrounds their brutal death.
