Featured review
Conventional but atmospheric low-budget Universal thriller
Set on an island during a stormy night, "The Cat Creeps" focuses on several disparate characters who have convened (for different reasons) at the estate of an elderly woman who inexplicably dies alone in a room with her black cat. A series of twists and turns ensue.
This low-budget and largely forgotten Universal Studios film is a fairly routine offering; it plays as an old-school murder mystery in the mode of something like "The Cat and the Canary", though perhaps less impactful.
The budgetary restrictions show here to some degree, as the film has the look and feel of a B-picture (think RKO's Val Lawton films), though it is considerably atmospheric and well-shot. The film packs a series of twists in its brisk running time, and while not overtly thrilling, it is no less a respectably entertaining curio, and an offbeat (and under-seen) release in Universal's large and legendary catalogue of films. 7/10.
