Review: It so happened that almost all Mexican horror-movies, which I could see, was remarkable for its, special style and painfully bizarre (bizarre) atmosphere. “Night of a Thousand Cats” – is no exception. History Hugo, handsome playboy and owner of a luxurious, if somewhat neglected estate, and his four-legged pets told clearly to the viewer interested herself. Rather, just the opposite – a scenario sloppy gaping lacunae, refuses to build a logical chain of events, and, in the end, does not provide answers to almost any one of the questions that may arise in the course of action. Who is this Hugo, where he took the cats-eating, what a strange mute servant Injun helps him manyachnyh entertainment and so on and so forth as well as with the majority of victims of the authors of the audience prefer not particularly familiar with. This is not an American youth thriller, where you will first present the exhibition, draw the characters, will meet them as the heroes of the reality show, and then start killing, starting with the most unsympathetic.
René Cardona all absolutely opposite. He’s from the first to the last minute in the frame flaunts a maniac – a handsome man with elegant manners, sexy macho, proud owner of the helicopter, sports car and a powerful bike. Blue-eyed blonde with a true Aryan appearance – a real Stier [g] persons. Naturally girls are drawn to him like moths to the light … And who are they – the audience does not necessarily know. Thus, statistics, doomed to become cat food. However, the master of the estate and is not averse to having treated human flesh.
Cardona cleverly plays on the contrast of the exterior of the hero and his monstrous inner self. Hugo appears true trickster, demonic (and perhaps divine – because there are different gods) fraud. And his servant doorways is the embodiment of his dark side. But despite the fact that the authors of the film from the first seconds, before the opening credits, to set the record straight «i» in the nature of the main character, until the very end it would seem that this is just a mask, dropping by Hugo appear noble hero, winning evil. Moreover, that the army of cats to feed sufficient number of victims in a kind of marathon violent absurdity, Rene Cardona, still focuses on one of them into believing that Hugo is not so simple and it can be for women is not only a gastronomic interest.
