Review - Catnado (2022)

Catnado is a new anthology film whose segments are loosely connected by catnados, sharknados only with felines.

Me:

Catnado, an upcoming anthology horror film, is set to unleash hordes of enraged and deadly cats upon humanity in a series of terrifying twisters. Directed by a group of filmmakers including Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Alaine Huntington, Blair Kelly, and others, the movie promises to be a hilariously bad B-movie experience.

The film's official trailer, which dropped on July 15, 2024, teases the chaotic premise: "The world faces a horrific onslaught of tornadoes, each unleashing hordes of enraged and deadly cats upon humanity! As chaos reigns, a disparate group of individuals have one mission: to stop this feline fury."

Catnado is set to be released direct-to-VOD and DVD on October 22, 2024, by Wild Eye Releasing. The movie stars Erica Rowell Green, Joshua G. Otto, Blair Kelly, Serena Salieri, and Tucky Williams, among others.

With a budget estimated at $100,000, the film is likely to appeal to fans of so-bad-it's-good movies and the Sharknado franchise, which has spawned similar knockoff movies like Clownado and Monsternado.The trailer's tagline, "It's like Sharknado, but with cats," perfectly encapsulates the movie's over-the-top and absurd premise.

While Catnado is not expected to win any awards for its cinematic excellence, it promises to be a delightfully campy and entertaining addition to the horror anthology genre. As the trailer suggests, "when the fur flies it will be a meow-ssacre!"

The creators of Catnado were likely inspired by the success of the Sharknado franchise, which has spawned several similar knockoff movies featuring absurd premises involving natural disasters and deadly animals.

The "Sharknado-esque spin-off" features a tornado made up of cats, which the trailer describes as "It's like Sharknado, but with cats." This over-the-top premise is a hallmark of the so-bad-it's-good B-movie genre that Sharknado popularized.

With the upcoming release of the Twister sequel Twisters, the creators likely saw an opportunity to capitalize on the renewed interest in disaster movies by putting their own ridiculous spin on the concept. The trailer's tagline "The Forecast is Clawful" and descriptions like "meow-ssacre" further play up the campy, humorous tone.

Ultimately, Catnado seems aimed at fans of hilariously bad movies who can appreciate the absurdity of killer cats in tornadoes. The anthology format allows multiple directors to put their own spin on the premise. While unlikely to win any awards, the film appears to be embracing its silliness in hopes of delivering an entertainingly cheesy viewing experience.

The cast and crew of Catnado reacted with enthusiasm and humor when they first heard about the film's concept. The idea of a tornado filled with cats, echoing the absurdity of the Sharknado franchise, was met with a mix of amusement and excitement.

Así es mi gente, desde Sharknado aquella cinta de bajo presupuesto donde un tornado llevaba tiburones por toda la ciudad atacando a las personas y convirtiéndose en un gran hit, han salido un sin fin de tramas irrisorias donde hay un tornado arrojando cuanta criatura le quepa, cof! cof! Monsternado… Y ahora ante mis ojos incrédulos, viene CATNADO osea tornados con michis asesinos…
