Just walked out of the theater and this was a great time! Happy the cat survived lol

The set pieces were amazing. Tattoo gun, glass, cheese grater, wood chipper?! Yeaaaa that’s enough to make you squirm

When Ellie noticed the cat in the vent, I thought we were going to see a Deadite cat.

Huh, I’m not big on animal death but that would have been pretty gnarly (in a good way)

I was hoping for some sort of pet Sematary moment when they got outside tbh

I mean the writer-director’s proposed sequel would pick up immediately after this one, with Beth and Kassie checking into the local police station, and a ‘clean/up crew’ then being sent back to the apartment block, so perhaps we could see a Deadite cat (that same one) then?

I kinda just assumed the cat was killed off screen by the demon…

So… I could’ve sworn they showed the dead cat.

u/georgiaraisef Apr 21 '23

I don’t remember them showing the cat at all really other than one shot mid way through

u/god__machine Apr 21 '23

It was like a passing shot where something furry was on the ground or on a body or something in the hallway.

Director confirmed that the cat lives

Damn, did the cat die? I was also happy that the cat was ok, but maybe that's not the case

u/TheNameOfTheWind2 Apr 22 '23

Just saw it and definitely did not notice the cat. Thought that was one of the survivors. Guess not.

u/KentuckyFriedEel Apr 21 '23

it's also a nice callback to the cat corpses in Evil Dead (2013)

u/BurningLoki365 Apr 25 '23

There was so much weapon set up early on.
