The Cat (2011)
So-yeon (Park Min-yeong), suffers from claustrophobia, the result of a childhood trauma.  But she has a nice life as a pet groomer - that is, until the cops give her a cat to look after.  Its owner was just murdered in the elevator. That's when the nightmares start. A little girl, haunting her sleep. So-yeon needs answers. But now, her best friend is dead too, and she doesn't know what to believe. It can't be true. Curses aren't real. Are they?

    seen it all before
    There was a time when everybody was looking forward for the new South-Korean horror or Japanese flick or Eastern horror. We all remembered how The Grudge and The Ring did showed us something new. But of course after a while you have seen it all. And I am a bit fed up with that genre. It's always the same, some creepy white faced girl coming out of the dark with black eyes and weird movements. Here it's the same story only the girl has short black hair instead of long hair and has cat eyes instead of the black eyes.

    The originality was the fact that they used real cats all over this flick and that must have been a hell of a time to shoot. But it clocked in way too long. There wasn't that much going on and it really never was that scary after all. It was even low on gore or blood.

    I guess I must have seen too many of these kind of flicks that I have seen enough. Sadly I didn't enjoyed it. Watch it for the cats alone but don't be bothered by the story.
