I was walking around Fry's and saw this little gem sitting on the shelf for $5. Bam! Mine! I knew nothing about this movie, I just thought the cover looked great for the price...and I didn't bother to even read the back until I got home. That is how much faith I had in this movie that it would rock my world.
And rock my world it sort of kinda did. A little.
Basically there is a cat food company that buys corpses from a local graveyard, grinds them up (shocking based on the title!), and sells the cans around town. The kittens just love the stuff! They gobble it up and then get a taste for human flesh!!
I could take nothing about this movie seriously. From the first scene where a cat is meowing rather loudly outside a door, I was giggling. But I don't think this movie is actually meant as a joke, something about it makes me think the creators actually want this to be scary...and it just isn't. When a cat is attacking a human, it is funny. I pictured someone just out of frame throwing cats and it made me think of Night Of The Living Bread and the Bread Wranglers tossing Wonder Bread all over everything. That is a glorious short film. If you haven't seen it, go watch it now. I will wait.
Welcome back. So yeah...nothing is unexpected in this movie except the lack of nudity. I'm not trying to sound like a nut, but there were many points when I was sure there was going to be some tits and there just wasn't. And that kinda let me down, maybe cause it was like the filmmakers just didn't go for it. I mean when they were loading bodies on the grinder, they removed the pants and shirts...but left the under garments on. If you were so concerned about the pants and shirts, why do you want to leave a bra in the food? And really, the nurse, the changed her outfits like a million and a half times and she looked like she was begging for a nude scene. Oh well.
At the end of it all, I would say watch this movie if it is available, but don't seek it out. So like if someone shows up at your place and says "Hey, I have this movie, we should watch it", go ahead and watch it. But don't go to a store, Netflix, or Amazon and look for it. That is too much effort for it.
Favorite Part: The gravedigger, his wife, and his love of jerky. He yelled out once for his wife and I said out loud "It is because he is out of jerky" and guess what she gave him when she showed up? Jerky. Also she has a doll she treats like a child which normally might be creepy in a movie but this was just funny.
