Any time is a good time to watch a cat movie, but today might just be the best time: after all, it’s International Cat Day.
The cat and why it rules: Cats are cute and fluffy, sure – but they’re also unpredictable and could bite your jugular if the mood strikes, which makes them spooky. Hausu (or just House in English) is a quirky, hyper-stylised Japanese horror that utilises this fear to great effect. Although Blanche the demon cat is not the central focus of the film, it’s so iconic that its grimacing visage stars in every poster.
