3/10
Nice atmosphere...dumb resolution!

Throughout much of this film, I was very impressed by the atmosphere created by the director and his crew. Through the use of music, lighting and acting, they really had a tense and nice looking film-- and it kept my interest. However, when the film ended, I was left frustrated because all this suspense led up to absolutely nothing that would satisfying the audience...NOTHING!

The film is set around a lab in which a team of workers are trying to come up with some serum to make human organs bioluminous. Why? I have no idea. In the midst of this, the lead researcher's daughter, Nora, is a hysterical mess who screams every time she sees cats. And, when folks start dying you expect that somehow some cat or that particular cat is behind it. Well, this is NOT the case and the ending is just plain stupid--a bit waste of a lot of talent, though Nora was an awfully written and acted character. Too bad that a couple problems completely ruin an otherwise good B horror film.
