Jacki, a scientist involved in genetic research, meets Tom, a young modern dancer who is suffering from a degenerative nerve disease. Jacki experiments with using genetic material taken from a cat to cure him, but the cure has side effects, and Tom begins to take on feline characteristics that may turn him into a monster.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

As a Gay Man I find this movie very erotic and Richard Grieco is simply Purrrrrrrrrrrrrfect in it. Grieco is great to look at and a very naughty boy here.I hope that it comes out on DVD sometime soon as VHS copies go very quickly on ebay and amazon.com.A great movie to watch with the one you love, Highly Recommend.

watchable movie not really unless watch most of it in fast forward.The opening erotic lovemaking scene tells you already forget the sci-fi it's just coating for some rather strange actions that the main character played by Grieco does.He is a pretty boy for the women viewers and that's it For the guys you get to see a lot of Maryam D'abo's body[it's nice] and some of Natalie Radfords body[also nice]So i give it two stars just for the nice bodies on the female leads.If you are looking for plot,acting good script etc Stay Away.

I admit it, I like looking at Richard. You get a lot of him in this movie. I also love Science Fiction and cats. I wouldn't change a thing. Sometimes you just have to sit and relax and be the voyeur. This is a little movie that went straight to video but it gives you more than the standard B.

The idea of splicing the cat's genetic material with Grieco is an interesting idea (similar to Cronenberg's Fly remake), but it just isn't carried off real well here. What could've been a nice little exploration into the psyche of a human who is picking up the traits of a cat, is instead just boring.
