#27 - The Night of a Thousand Cats (1972)
(dir. René Cardona Jr.)
Some jerk with a helicopter flies around and picks up random women, who he then takes back to his castle for some romance (nothing turns a woman on like a complete stranger landing a helicopter in their front yard). Then he kills them, puts their heads in jars, and feeds the rest of them to his army of cats. It is unclear why he has so many cats. Actually, everything about this movie is unclear, because their is no story to speak of and barely any dialogue. The whole thing feels like someone said "hey let's make a movie about a guy who feeds people to his cats", but then didn't actually write a script before filming it.
This was extremely awful. It's only little over an hour long, but probably 15 minutes of that is just shots of the helicopter flying around. Another 5-10 is just the main character sort of blankly staring at women - besides having very few lines, he also never even makes any facial expressions. There is barely a plot - he kills someone, and then does it again, and again, then finally the cats somehow get loose and kill him. It's dumb and boring.
This might make a good episode of MST3K, but on its own it is nearly unwatchable.
