The premise

When Ted’s beloved cat dies, the trauma triggers a terrible mental breakdown. His broken brain prompts him to bring his feline friend back – all he needs is nine human lives. Ted dons vicious deadly cat claw gloves and a creepy cat mask, and goes on a murderous rampage. As the butchery escalates, a twisted romance blossoms between Ted and Claire, a young woman who has also recently lost her cat in a horrifying incident.

Horror Vault's take

A man's grief over his dead cat fractures his sanity entirely, sending him on a blood-soaked quest for resurrection fuelled by a warped feline mythology. Armed with brutal cat-claw weapons and a disturbing mask, he stalks victims while the body count climbs. Meanwhile, a chance connection with another bereaved cat owner introduces an unlikely and deeply uncomfortable romantic thread. Cat Sick Blues is a confrontational Australian horror that weaponises pet loss into something far darker and weirder than its premise suggests.
