Ellen Page stars as a 14-year-old moving into a new house with her widower dad. The house is owned by old Mrs. Ashboro, a retired librarian, who lives with them until she dies of stroke. The following day her cat, Margaret, dies of a broken heart. Supernatural strangeness begins to occur and all paws point in the direction of the ghost of Margaret. The cat’s spirit appears to have returned to help the teenage girl protect herself and her father from a scheming Savings & Loan swindler desperate for the old ladies’ hidden $50,000.
That certainly sounds like a thrill a minute. And it’s not a comedy either. Ghost Cat (originally titled Mrs. Ashboro’s Cat) reportedly takes itself very seriously.
North American Pictures has dug up this dead cat from the cinematic pet cemetery for all of Page’s newfound fans to enjoy. Look for Ghost Cat on DVD September 22nd.
