The Coming Of The Great Litter.......2006-08-08

This movie was originally called (somewhat more modestly) simply "Catgirls," but once the friendly folks at Troma got a hold of it, it morphed into "Teenage Catgirls in Heat," which is actually a more descriptive title. This little gem was made in Austin, Texas and concerns itself with a bunch of housecats that commit ritual suicide under the direction of an ancient Egyptian cat goddess. The cats then magically become women who wander around scantily clad plotting a nefarious world conquest scheme so stupid I am not even going to go into it here (hint: it involves the coming of "the Great Litter.") As an aside, watching the catgirls play with string, meow, and chase mice is all well and good, but the director also likes them to use kitchen utensils in hostile encounters. (Watch for the potato masher and ice cream scoop in action.)

There are two heroes of the film (one of which turns out to be one quarter cat on his maternal grandmother's side...don't ask) who uncover the plot, and with the help of one particularly helpful feline girl, Cleo (yes, like Cleopatra...,) a Brahma bull, and a very unusual bit of romance (there is unforgettable dialogue here, asking if the catgirl has been spayed), the plot is foiled. You may actually wish it hadn't been, though, when you see the headpiece that our hero, Warren, has to wear after dealing with a tiger. (This thing would have shamed Bootsy Collins even in the 1970s.)

This whole thing is extremely silly and low budget, with much of the film in shot day-for-night (resulting in everything being a lovely shade of blue), and special effects being no more than close-ups of actual cats and stuffed toys flung from roofs (for the ritual feline suicides.) I was especially enthralled in when Warren got to interrogate a domestic housecat using unethical methods involving a garbage can, catnip, and feline hypnosis.

The movie is entertaining in a campy way, but is not suitable for younger viewers due to the scanty catgirl attire. The extras are extremely lame by Troma's standards: the commentary track is somewhat annoying and not all that enlightening and the additional features (especially the sequel shtick) vary from very lame to atrocious. All told, I thought this was one of the best Troma films (though it's not gory, unless you count the scratching and hissing) and I recommend it to lovers of campy, but fun, bad movies.

Typical Troma trash.......2005-02-05

I'm a lover of bad movies, but this one isn't loveable at all. It's just extremely amateurish, low budget, and has nothing of interest. The plot is about an ancient egyptian statue of a cat that's been locked away in a suitcase for some time. It comes to life (well, they show a picture of it and do a voiceover), and it tells all the cats in the area to commit suicide. Then they are reborn as women who walk around and do extremely corny immitations of cats. There are a couple of bumbling cat hunters who are trying to unravel this "mystery", but most of the middle part of the movie is spent with one of the cat hunters getting ready to go on a date with one of the catgirls. She meows and holds her hands up as if they were paws, etc. This must take an hour. It's an 80 minute movie but seems to drag on for at least two and a half hours. For some reason most of the movie is filmed through a blue filter. Maybe this was to give it an "eerie" look? It just makes it look like it was filmed through a blue filter. The ending is just ridiculous - it's as if they got to the end of the movie and were completely out of money, and even more completely out of ideas, so somebody came up with a really really dumb idea and they just filmed it.

Overall, there are so many good B movies out there, why watch one that is as awful as this?

One of the poorer Troma films..........2004-04-20

On the plus side this film has lots of topless girls. That is about the only good thing about it though. The movie itself is pretty boring. There is no gore or anything. Parts of tis film are kind of funny but for the most part it is really boring.

Mmmmm. girls.......2002-11-14

I was totally unaware until I bought this movie that the B movie industry is alive and well in today's culture.

The story's kinda hard to follow in the beginning, but it comes around. Obviously this is a B movie so there are no big names and the acting isn't great. Plus the story is so convaluted with T&A that I found myself wondering how they could work so much into the script. The one supporting actor is a riot. He's a rogue cat hunter. He hunts stray cats. Wow. Wanna laugh? Pick this one up. It'll sit on the shelf for a while after you watch it once.

Love "B" movies? Love subtle, but sometimes hilarious corny humor? TCIH is for you! It is so "B" it is good. Troma has a knack for script and editing that is fit for a feline. Where they got the feline actresses I really don't know, but there are busts galore in this genre of horror. Imagine it raining cats and...cats (no dogs)...only to have each and every feline turn into a naked teenage girl. That's the premise of this, and all of, Troma's films. I don't think I've ever laughed louder at a Troma flick than this. If you are a Troma fan...don't miss this one. It doesn't have the gore...just the silly script and busty girls. The DVD version is digitally remastered but the quality is sub-par. The sound is scratchy and muffled. But it's still worth a view. The best scene is when the innocent nerd, who's afraid to commit to another woman, gets seduced by one of the crazed felines. He falls head over tails for her. You'll PRRRR at that scene. And don't miss the TROMA preview section on the DVD. It's quite graphic...and may compel you to buy another TROMA flick.
