Churns on and on with no sense of direction, particularly in those endless helicopter scenes. Go to Full Review

Jens B @Jens97 Oct 4, 2026 The wealthy and eccentric Hugo picks up women in his helicopter, entertains himself with them at his forest estate, preserves their severed heads in jars, and feeds the rest to the 1,000 cats he keeps in an enclosure. He is assisted in these endeavors by his peculiar henchman. Ninety percent of the film consists of helicopter sequences or scenes showing characters traveling from point A to point B. There isn't much of a plot; instead, *La Noche de los Mil Gatos* induces a trance-like state in the viewer—an effect aided by the musical score. Yet, for all its oddity, poor quality, and vacuousness, this lo-fi fever dream is over just as quickly as it began. 🎃 Spooktober 2026 #1 🎃 See more Chris M @RT21954632 Nov 14, 2023 Why? You're guess is as good as mine. It's 1972 where I think most horror movie were conceived on acid trips. Because there's no real story, character development. The villain is as deep as a half filled kiddie pool. Reused shot of the cat feeding scene. Plus the worst part 90% of the movie is just the guy flying around in his copter. Because who needs an actual narrative and characters when flying around in a helicopter is all you need. This makes "Girl On A Motorcycle" look like "Avatar". Because even with the mere 63 minute runtime it didn't even have enough story to fill that time without padding the shit of it with the helicopter scenes. It made it feel more like an 8 hour movie.

Any movie that shows real animals being harmed and killed should be banned and the director should be locked up for life. Luckily the untalented scum who directed this movie is already dead and hopefully rotting in hell.
