A throwback today, and I have to admit that I thought I was going into a Stephen King movie. I hadn’t seen this before and when it was listed as an “erotic horror” movie, I wasn’t super excited. I soldiered on though, in the spirit of Halloween.
(It was not all that erotic)
Malcom McDowell (everyone’s favorite droogie) and Natassija Kinski (daughter of garbage human sexual abuser Klaus Kinski) are long lost brother and sister who reunite in New Orleans. He turns into a Jaguar and kills people and she visits him at the zoo when he’s captured in cat form. It’s all weird.
It’s not a bad story, with a few twists and turns, but nothing super exciting throughout.
Bonus skull on this one for the Cameos:
Ed Bagley Jr. As “dude feeding the animals who gets his arm ripped off by the Jaguar”
John Laroquette as ” zoo business guy who suggests killing the captured Jaguar which would have made a much shorter film” and
Guy from The Wire that says ‘Shhhheeeeeeeiiiiiiittttt” as “murder detective that doesn’t say Shhhheeeeeeeiiiiiiittttt”
