Viewing Notes
While not quite as good or at the level of other popular CatIII horror films this one still has a lot going for it and a bonkers third act. It suffers from just cramming too much into its 90 minute runtime making it hard to follow exactly what was happening or what’s important to the main story.
There’s a flashback scene in this that had me wondering if Tim Burton used the idea for his Catwoman origin in Batman Returns.
