I had been looking forward to watching this movie ever since I first saw the poster revealed. Sure, I didn't harbor an ounce of expectations to the movie, but I still opted to watch the movie on the off-chance that it would prove to be a entertaining movie, or a movie that was so phenomenally bad that it proved to be fun to watch.
As it turned out, not surprisingly so, this movie was a catastrophe, pardon the pun. First of all, it was an anthology, and those rarely fare well. "Catnado" was not about to deviate from the usual fare of anthologies, and this was a questionable dumpster fire of a movie. Writers Blake Blasko, Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Blair Kelly, Stephanie E. Kelly, James M. Myers, Melvin Pittman, Tim Ritter, Serena Salieri and Jerry Williams didn't exactly manage to put together something enjoyable here. It was cringeworthy to sit through on so many levels.
The acting performances in "Catnado" were all over the place; some of the performers were fully and wholly stripped of acting talents, whereas other performers actually had a shred of talent to them. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in this anthology. And usually I enjoy watching movies with unfamiliar talents on the screen, but there simply was nothing to enjoy about this 2022 movie.
There was one good thing about "Catnado" and that was some woman being interviewed and managing to do the interview in the style of that video with a lady being interviewed in real life some years ago and someone made an autotune song out of her titled "Backing Up". The female actor in the movie here had her speech pattern, voice and mannerisms nailed down to the point where it was actually fun to watch and listen to.
Visually then this was bad. The movie didn't even have proper effects, which would have salvaged it from being a total and utter dumpster fire. The effects were very low budget and looked ridiculous most of the time.
"Catnado" is a terrible movie. And worse yet, is that it isn't even bad in a way that it becomes fun to watch. No, "Catnado" is just a downright horrible movie. Don't bother wasting you time, money or effort on this dung heap; some of us did so you don't have to, you're very welcome.
My rating of this anthology from directors Curtis Everitt, Donald Farmer, Alaine Huntington, Blair Kelly, James M. Myers, Melvin Pittman, Tim Ritter, Jerry Williams and Logan Winton lands on a generous one out of ten stars.
