Released the same year as his cult classic Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, director Ngai Choi Lam’s bonkers feline horror movie The Cat is clawing back to life with a brand new Blu-ray.
On August 26, 88 Films presents the North American Blu-ray debut of the Hong Kong film The Cat with a limited release featuring a high-definition transfer loaded with bonus content.
The special features include a limited edition rigid slipcase, 40-page perfect bound book, a limited edition premium artcard, audio commentary by Frank Djeng (Asian Film Festival), a new interview with writer Gordon Chan, and an image gallery.
Check out this absolutely insane plot synopsis: “Li Tung (Lawrence Lau, Bullet in the Head) is unable to sleep due to his noisy upstairs neighbors. When he goes to confront them, he encounters an old man (Siu-ming Lau, A Better Tomorrow II), a young woman (Gloria Yip, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky), and a mysterious black cat.
“The next morning, the trio vanish, leaving behind a startling surprise in a pile of newspapers for Tung to uncover. As the police investigate, Inspector Wang Chieh-Mei (Philip Kwok, Master of the Flying Guillotine) invites Tung to dinner at the home of bestselling novelist Wisely (Waise Lee, A Better Tomorrow) and his companion Pai So (Christine Ng, Police Story II).
“Intrigued by the bizarre tale, Wisely spins a story: the woman and the cat are from outer space, here to stop an alien life form known as The Star Killer—an entity capable of possessing human bodies. But is Wisely really making up a story or recounting his adventure with the extraterrestrials?”
88 Films previews, “Director Ngai Choi Lam (Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, Erotic Ghost Story) unleashes a cosmic blend of sci-fi and action, complete with a gravity-defying junkyard battle between a cat and a dog, and a fiery showdown in a swimming pool.”
While you wait, watch the original trailer for The Cat below.
