The Uncanny
An author becomes convinced he's unearthed a feline conspiracy to control mankind.
Director: Denis Héroux
Overview
Long before the Internet fulfilled the prophecy of a cats' takeover, Denis Héroux's final film proposed the theory. A purring Ray Milland and crazed Peter Cushing link the film, which plays out as three stories 'proving' the pets' evil intentions. Also features Donald Pleasence (playing 'Valentine De'ath'), Samantha Eggar and Joan Greenwood.
