Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
IMDB says, “It’s like Sharknado, but with cats,” and that’s a pretty apt description. It also has a harsh rating of 1.7 out of 10 at the time of this posting. This is an anthology, and as a voice on the radio warns, those catnadoes can pop up anywhere, anytime. It is a supernaturally powered tornado full of evil, angry cats, for some reason. The movie is stupid and bad, yet entertaining and quite hilarious at the same time.
Spoilery Synopsis
A woman talks about the day that the sky went dark and then cats started killing. “This was no ordinary tornado. This was a catnado. No one was safe.” We’re going to see some of those stories in this anthology…
Crimes and Felines
On Halloween, we see the neighborhood is all decorated. A man talks about not being able to book their vacation cruise because of the catnadoes, which is a lot like the COVID hoax.
A woman picks up her ex from prison; he’s just been released. He’s got a lead on 1.3 million dollars hidden in a mattress. They need some cash to get there, so they rob a woman coming out of the pet store.
They arrive at the victim’s house, and it’s full of cats. Suddenly, the tornado siren goes off. Could it be a catnado? Yes, it’s a tornado full of cats, spitting them out all willy-nilly and killing people. There’s nothing worse than stirred-up cats!
To make it worse, a cat bursts out of the boyfriend’s belly and kills the girl. The pet shop lady then takes her money back.
Of Cats and Men
A man arrives at his home in the country and gets a storm warning on his phone. He then sits outside and drinks beer until the storm hits. He runs out of beer and goes after more— he runs into a cat with his truck, and it makes a big splat.
He’s about to get into a fight with another motorist when they hear a bunch of meowing. Soon, the cat-astrophe is upon them, and Mal gets hit by a car himself.
Everyone wakes up in a cabin, and they argue a lot as the yowling surrounds the house. They all go over their family drama and some deaths in the past; they all have a backstory. The drama continues until the cats get inside.
Storm Window
A man who doesn’t like storms reads Bible verses. He finds that he’s locked in a storm shelter with several cats who talk in funny accents (where did these cats grow up to learn these accents? That’s not what real cats talk like). The cats trash-talk Raymond until he slowly goes insane. “The catnado is coming for you, Raymond!”
Apocalypse Meow
A scriptwriter writes a story about a cat plague that kills millions of cats. There’s even a cat church now. The two guys, Jerry and Oliver, have a cat, but one of them is afraid of the cat. There’s a storm coming, and the weather report is pretty weird. Maybe the cat vaccine has something to do with it.
Something scratches at the door, and Oliver doesn’t want to let it in. Jerry, on the other hand, has a gun. The vaccine made millions of killing machines and hundreds of catnadoes. The two soon form a vigilante group to look for pussy.
The pair soon encounter a really big catnado. Oliver is killed, and Jerry puts on his silly hat. Somehow, Oliver has become a cat-man and comes after Jerry.
Cat Burglar
A woman talks about a man who stole her cat. There’s been a “cat burglar” in the neighborhood, and he’s wearing a mask. The detectives check out one of their informants, and he’s seen the man.
We then cut to the cat burglar, in a mask, and there’s some science-y stuff going on. The burglar promises to conjure up a catnado. There’s a shootout with the detectives, and the burglar is killed.
Nightmare at 10,000 Feet
A couple of guys are flying their small plane home, but they hear something on the roof of the plane. There’s a gremlin-cat left over from a catnado on the wing of the plane! They use a cat toy to get its attention, and the reject from “Cats” takes it away from them.
Cosmic Catnado
After the credits, another segment appears. It doesn’t make any sense at all, something about “Stinky cheese of the soul” and “Astro the Space Hero.”
Brian’s Commentary
“It’s raining cats and …” “When there’s no more room in the cat box, cats shall rule the Earth!” So many “pussy” jokes.
This has some of the worst special effects I’ve ever seen, but they’re still hilarious. It’s extremely low budget, but it’s so silly it’s hard not to like it.
Kevin’s Commentary
Who doesn’t love a vortex of cats sweeping across the land?
It’s low-budget and bad, but in a good way. The effects are terrible. I thought it was funny and entertaining. Don’t expect great cinema, but if you’re a fan sharknado level movies, you can expect a good time.
I have no regrets seeing it.
