STRAYS - 2 Slimes
Unrated
Copyright 1991 MIE
Reviewed by Andrew Borntreger on 'a long time ago'

The Characters:  

Green Dot Lindsey - Possessive of her husband to the point of being irrational, not the one I'd pick in a cat fight.
Green Dot Paul - Our strong male lead, equipped with lightning reflexes and an impressive dog.
Green Dot Tessa - The little daughter, she doesn't do much other than cry.
Green Dot Claire - Lindey's sister and emotional leech, dies after plummeting ten feet. (Even though a table breaks her fall.)
Green Dot Benny - Paul's mop of a dog.
Green Dot Telephone Guy - How an average tomcat killed him we'll never know.
Green Dot The Vet - You think country doctors are old and grumpy? Try some guy who has to stick his arm in cows now and then.
Green Dot The "Alpha" Cat - Leader of a pack of carnivorous kittens. Tries to chew through a power line, just like the shark in "Jaws 2."

The Plot: 

Worries are common enough when buying a home, but I doubt on anyone's checklist is the all important note to inspect the grounds for a pack of deadly felines. Such is the pitfall Paul and Lindsey fall into, though she is more worried about her sister (On the bounce from a failed marriage.) making moves on her man. I am personally not afraid of your standard house cat, but when smashing the thing between a door and the wall only makes it angry - well I'd go and get a bat. Watching a horde of cats staring intently at something off camera, which I suspect was a mouse toy or little tuft of fur on a string, is funny. Now imagine actors trying to get into the role while being stalked by the cameraman, great stuff! One scene really jumps to mind, when the Alpha Cat is trying to scratch it's way through a pillow to get at Lindsey and Tessa. There is obviously someone crouched under the camera and using a pair of sticks with cat paws on the end. (I kid you not, almost fell off the couch laughing.) Perhaps the perfect use for this film is torturing your own cat, just turn up the surround sound and watch it run wild trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Things I Learned From This Movie: 

Green Dot Cats travel in packs.
Green Dot Animal crackers are an invaluable teaching aid.
Green Dot A roof in need of serious repairs will not allow water to ruin ceilings inside the house.
Green Dot Cats can kill a person by jumping on them.
Green Dot Being sprayed with urine will not wake you up.
Green Dot Cats have giant bladders.
Green Dot Cats can claw their way through a wooden door in seconds.
Green Dot Never lie down in a driveway.
Green Dot Felines can only be destroyed by applying high voltage current.

Stuff To Watch For: 

Green Dot 2 mins - Cat cam!
Green Dot 6 mins - This cat must be eight feet tall!
Green Dot 18 mins - A cat hit the car and knocked it off the road. Huh?
Green Dot 28 mins - The telephone guy found rats in the cellar, but she is setting all the traps in her attic?
Green Dot 29 mins - Now the tow truck driver finds a perfectly good truck, in the middle of the driveway, so he tows it. (After being told to retrieve their car from a ditch.) Plus he turned it around somehow?
Green Dot 44 mins - Paul and Lindsey do not know what "feral" means? One is a lawyer and the other is a writer!
Green Dot 60 mins - Any reason that cat is on the chandelier?
Green Dot 67 mins - Oh sure, the cat fit through that hole in the glass...

Wow.  Cat owners will find this one hilarious.  Lookit those not-at-all-enraged kitties climbing all over the phone man!  Heck, my former cats (they live with their mother now) used to do that to me all the time out of...well, I guess a desire to be on my shoulders.  Now to find out they were trying to kill me!  When a cat really comes after you, it's obvious, and scary.  But these little fuzzies aren't even mildly perturbed.
Gotta get this one...

that dude with the sandy hair and the beard was Pointdexter from Revenge of the Nerds, I didn't even recognize him without the huge cokebottle glasses.

Andrew why did you give this thing two slimes???  That's the same rating you gave The Evil Dead!  What an insult to Strays!

Just kidding.

This one rates a skull to me, it's just painful to watch.  I'd sit through Shark Attack 2 again before watching this a second time.  Shame on you USA.

This is, without a doubt, one of the very worst movies I have ever seen.

"Boring," "cheap," and "mindless" come to mind.

Ugh!

ImageFaster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! - Slime drop

Review first posted on 27 January 2007. Varla is more like a man-eating tiger than a kitten, and her reckless desires could be her undoing. Think of her as a Shakespearean tragic hero with cleavage and judo chops.

Lesson Learned:
Green Dot There is something worse than golf pants.
