Cat Killer
Working deep into the night, a solitary inventor succeeds in reversing the natural order of predator and prey. But his tinkering yields some unexpected results, including unsettling insights into his own obsession. Following a dream logic and rendered in stark black and white, Cat Killer is a nightmarish fable that recalls the psychological horror stories of Edgar Allan Poe and the imagery of the German Expressionists.
