Cat Killer
An exterminator clearing an abandoned building of feral cats takes his job personally. But his ghoulish machinations yield some unexpected results, including unsettling insights into his own obsession. Following a dream logic and rendered in stark black and white, Cat Killer is a nightmarish animated fable that recalls the psychological horror stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
