YMMV / The Night of a Thousand Cats

• Complete Monster: Hugo, disturbed playboy Serial Killer, routinely stalks the women of Acapulco in his helicopter, seducing them and bringing them to his mansion whereupon he strangles and kills them. Hugo, as an avid collector in the fashion of his ancestors, keeps the heads of his victims in glass cases in his basement, feeding the rest to his pen of ravenous cats—saving the bits he eats himself. Hugo further murders a doctor in fury who causes him to lose one of his victims, and even tosses his loyal servant Dorgo to his death for beating him in chess.
• Nightmare Fuel: Hugo's cruel treatment of his cats, which does not appear to be simulated in any way, can be very unsettling to many viewers, especially cat owners.
• Nightmare Retardant: As pointed out in virtually every review, cats aren't particularly scary, even when there's a thousand of them. If anything, the treatment of the animals is far more horrifying.
• Values Dissonance: The amount of animal cruelty of display is astounding and would not be tolerated in any film nowadays.
