With a title like Legend of the Demon Cat, I was uncertain what genre the narrative
belonged to until I had already viewed a majority of the film. From the word
‘Legend’ one might assume martial arts or action of some sort, while the phrase
‘Demon Cat’ certainly brings to mind the horror genre. In reality, the film
belongs to neither. There are sequences of action and a few gruesome deaths,
but this film owes more to period costume dramas than either action or horror.
The most difficult thing about the film is managing expectations, both brought
from the title and expectations from Chinese epics. Well, that and the often
unconvincing CGI cat.
