The Shadow of the Cat

“Was it supernatural force or psychotic compulsion . . . that drove five maddened murderers to destroy themselves ?”

Their mistress is murdered, and Tabitha, once a gentle and devoted pet, turns into a ferocious, wild animal. Three people share the guilt, among them Walter Venable (André Morell) and Beth Venable (Barbara Shelley), and none of them can leave the cat's reach. John Gilling shoots it in black-and-white, and the household watches the animal that saw everything, waiting for it to come for each of them.
