With so many layers of meta commentary blurring the lines between reality and film, Be My Cat is an enjoyably oddball watch.

It makes a curious calling card, but it's not the kind of film that those unfamiliar with this underground subgenre - or those who appreciate the pastiche - are likely to forget. This little kitty has claws.

unnerving study in cinephilia & erotomania, somewhere between Man Bites Dog & Creep, as one man documents his own murderous obsession, knowing full well that his possession of a camera is the best cover story for acts lifted from the horror genre.

It's precisely because it feels so real that it feels so stomach-droppingly plausible: The mundanity makes it all the more terrifying.
