You won't be disappointed!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

"Eye Of The Cat" is also know as "Wylie". I do not like the name Wylie.I cannot imagine Michale Sarrazin as a man named Wylie.Not in a million years!"Eye Of The Cat" was filmed on location in beautiful San Francisco, and that aspect gives this movie a terrific quality.Universal Pictures made this movie and you can tell.The color and the cinema photography are gorgeous.Universal films especially in the 1950s had gorgeous color.The cast is excellent.You have Gayle Hunicutt who is not that well known, even today.She was a real beauty,sleek and gorgeous like Barbara Parkins.You have the versatile, handsome actor Michael Sarrazin who was under rated as far as I am concerned.My favorite actor in this movie is the drop dead gorgeous Eleanor Parker.I have not seen a movie yet that she did not excel in.Remember Eleanor in some of the earlier Hollywood era movies with leading men like Robert Taylor.This movie has it all.Suspense,lots of scary cats,a nutty older aunt,and lovely to look at San Francisco scenery.I almost forgot, a cat fight between two women!I have this movie.I have the version that has multiple cats chasing Gayle Hunnicutt's character down the stairs.

Just saw a beautiful theatrical print of "Eye of the Cat" for the first time last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Most of the reviewers have already said what I wanted to say, but I wanted to mention my favorite part of the movie: the menacing and evil music whenever they show the main cat. The cat is just so adorable that when combined with the macabre music it just comes off as laughable. Aside from some campiness, this movie is entirely engrossing and was amazingly shot - the opening De Palma-esquire split-screens are fantastic and San Francisco has never looked so beautiful. It's a crime that this movie isn't on DVD!

I absolutely love this movie, but am unable to find it anywhere on VHS or DVD. I watched this movie years ago. It had two endings. The first ending has the people at the end being attacked by the Aunt's cats. They knew the bad intentions of the evil nephew. I love cats, horror, and this movie. It is suspenseful all the way through it.Great movie for us oldies who love suspense and horror. Today's scary movies are all blood and guts, and repetitive. In the old days, one movie stood out from others-like this one. My hope is that I can find a station that is willing to show this movie again.Great, great, great.

Possible SPOILERSIn the tradition of monster movies a new and not very obvious version has been added:the CAT. And I must say,the execution is not bad at all.Of course the cats are not vampires or werewolves,they are real animals.But they become hostile when threatened in their "scam". The story is rather awful and makes no real sense,but that isn't really important,most horror movies have unsatisfying story lines.So the whole heritage theme can be forgotten.The main emphasis lies in the black humor and in the,strangely scary,sequences in which the cats get even with the greedy humans.I knew this was going to be a strange movie after watching the opening with it's double screen.This obscure feeling stays all out in this film and that makes it not straight forward.The characters are all unpredictable but the plot twists are not at all surprising.Overall,not very good but the weird feeling of it saves the movie. 6/10
