The Cat Creeps is a very difficult movie to review. Even harder since IMDB now requires a way to long minimum of six hundred characters in the review. So it forces us to add a lot of padding. No known copies of this movie exist anymore. But in the early 70's my mom told me about old movies she had seen as a young girl in the 30's, and the Cat Creeps was one of them. She said it was pretty good. From what she told me, I gave it a 7. At least there's some basis for a rating there. Wikipedia has a section on "lost films", and one on "partial or incomplete films". This one is listed in the incomplete section.
Birdemic is a great movie. Great to show how not to make a movie. If you want to be an editor, watch this and do the opposite. If you want to be a sound technician, watch this and do the opposite. If you want to be an actor, watch this and do the opposite. The same thing goes for the cinematography, lighting, dialogue, and esspically the special effects. Basically, to make a good movie, watch this and then do the opposite. It's very difficult to figure which aspect is the worst. It even makes Empire Of The Ants look good. It makes you appreciate the under appreciated skills of the crews of "real" movies because you don't realize what a good movie really is until you see a bad one.
The special effects are so SO bad, any 4th grader could do better.
Other noteworthy points, since there are birds attacking everywhere, it's a really good idea to walk away from the car and have a picnic, or a walk in the woods, or a walk to the open beach! I want a happy meal too. Those guns they had came out of nowhere with nearly unlimited ammunition. That's a nice thing. I have to give credit to the make up person. The cuts and scars weren't too bad.
I only watched this because one IMDB search led to another and I found this movie. I had to watch it to see how bad it was. It's all true. Some movies are so bad they're good, but this is so bad, it's still bad.
Does this review contain spoilers? The movie itself is spoiled. But for only $10,000, that's respectable.
