I can see why people criticise this film, it is predictable in parts and the whole concept is ludicrous. However, if you can get past this and apply your imagination this is in my opinion a great film.
Firstly, I would like to suggest that to truly enjoy this film you must be a cat person. If you don't like cats or simply think they are just dumb animals then you are not going to appreciate this film because it will seem silly. However, to those (like myself)who believe there is a great deal more to the humble housecat than meets the eye then this film can be chilling and thoroughly entertaining.
Mr Cushing as usual overacts - but his portrayal of an ignorant human being who with this horrific revelation has just discovered the grey in a world that is usually so black and white.
As to the far-out concept of cats seeking revenge (although greatly exaggerated in the film) this may not be quite as ludicrous as it seems.Anyone who has punished a cat for disobedience, seen the malicious lookin its eyes only later to have a stack of books pushed onto their head from atop a bookcase, would understand that the concept of cats getting their own back is not so far out.
The acting is decent, the suspense is unnerving - the cats are brilliant and on the whole a thoroughly interesting film
