Quick Hit

Shadow of the Cat either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

This one swings hard at horror and only sometimes connects. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s why it lands at BAD.
