El gato en la jaula

The only thing this "The Cat in the Cage" is really good at is establishing what everybody knows already. For example, everybody knows that Sybil Danning was an incredibly sexy woman in the 70s. Everybody also knows that ordinary housecats cannot be trained, so when a film features cat-attack sequences they just look silly. And, finally, ravishing young women only ever marry rich widowers when they schemed with their handsome lovers (usually the chauffeur or gardener) to murder them for money.

Or, otherwise said, "The Cat in the Cage" is a very unsatisfying thriller. Sybil Danning and the wooden Mel Novak carefully planned to kill Danning's businessman husband - after already successfully having eliminated his ill wife - but are confronted with a potentially psychotic son and his diabolical cat. Oh, and halfway through the plot there suddenly appears to be another brother. Scriptwriting 101, Mr. Tony Zarindast, you can't just introduce new and essential characters in the middle of a film without hinting at their existence whatsoever. Wickedly bad and uneven movie, only worthwhile to admire Sybil Danning at the peak of her beauty.
