The Uncanny1977
“They prowl by night...lusting for human flesh!”
Directed by Denis Héroux
The premise
Wilbur Gray, a horror writer, has stumbled upon a terrible secret, that cats are supernatural creatures who really call the shots. In a desperate attempt to get others to believe him, Wilbur spews three tales of feline horror.
Horror Vault's take
A jittery horror writer corners a skeptical publisher with an obsessive theory: cats are ancient, malevolent intelligences secretly pulling the strings of human fate. To prove his case, he recounts three chilling anthology tales in which ordinary domestic cats exact swift and terrible vengeance on the people who cross them. Rooted in classic British horror tradition and bolstered by a distinguished cast, the film blends anthology-style dread with a darkly comic framing device. If you've ever caught your cat staring at you just a little too long, this one may not help.
