CAT SICK BLUES Filmmaker Dave Jackson Gives Us His Top 5 Cat Movies!

In the lead-up to this week’s FRIDAY FRIGHT NIGHT, we’ve dug deep into the Monster archives, right back to 2016 when CAT SICK BLUES first hit home entertainment and filmmaker Dave Jackson swung by the office to give us his Top 5 Cat Movies!

Join us this FRIDAY FRIGHT NIGHT on our MONSTER FEST Facebook Page for a FREE screening of the MONSTER FEST 2015 ‘Best Australian Film’ award-winner CAT SICK BLUES!

CAT SICK BLUES follows introverted loner Ted (Matthew C. Vaughn) who after suffering a mental breakdown from the death of his cat, convinces himself that in order to bring his beloved pet back to life, he needs nine human lives to sacrifice in its place. Constructing a cat costume, complete with mask and razor-sharp claws, Ted embarks on a murderous rampage, slashing his way through share houses, backpacker hostels and webcam chat rooms in a savage frenzy. As the butchery escalates, a twisted and bleak romance blossoms between Ted and Claire (Shian Denovan), a young woman he meets in a support group for recently bereaved pet owners.

In keeping with the MONSTER FEST tradition, we’ll be presenting this online incarnation of FRIDAY FRIGHT NIGHT in the same fashion as we would in the cinema with pre-show entertainment!

This week’s pre-show includes filmmaker Dave Jackson’s short film GACHA GACHA, which was an official selection at MONSTER FEST 2018 and is a not-so-heartwarming tale about capsule toys, the nightmare of obsession, jealous rage, and a slimy, stop-frame animated tiny monster.
