As I was watching this movie there were many moments when I was a bit embarrassed with the quirkiness of this film and some of the expense fell short but something something seemed unique about this movie - some vague feeling of charm which is probably thanks to the cinematography and setting throughout the movie (which takes place in California).
This movie is definitely not a classic and I will tell you why. Eye of the Cat mostly fails at allowing the viewer to ignore an incomplete plot and poor dialogue and still enjoy the character of the film as in many other low-budget, cult horrors of the era.
Take Halloween (John Carpenter's) for example. Despite obvious flaws that would take away from the suspense or movie's plot, the film overcomes these flaws by introducing traits that revolutionized horror. Eye of the Cat does not do this effectively and often misses the mark in terms of suspense.
That being said, the film was alluring in an interesting way and the way in which the film was shot helps keep this film from dropping to a 3 or 4 out of 10.
