Holiday Horror Thriller ‘CATnip’ Described as “Gremlins for Grown-ups” to Unleash Feral Cats

Joey Lauren Adams (Animal, Chasing Amy), Chevy Chase (“Community”), and Bruce Dern (The Hateful Eight) are set to star in writer/director Nyle Cavazos Garcia’s CATnip, a holiday horror thriller involving a horde of feral cats, Deadline reports today.

The indie horror thriller with comedic elements follows as “a struggling family’s fresh start in a run-down apartment building turns into a fight for survival as a horde of feral cats unleashes terror, revealing the dark and deadly horrors lurking within its walls.”

It also happens to be set over Christmas Eve.

It sounds like the apartment building is already stacked, too. The cast also includes Jake Busey, Geoffrey Arend, Keli Price, Lorelei Linklater, Charlotte Kirk, Brooke Bundy, Kylee Levien, and River Jose.

The film’s successful Kickstarter campaign refers to CATnip as “Gremlins for grown-ups.”

The page also includes a longer synopsis that reads, “The Betancourt family has just moved from the projects of New York City to an up-and-coming neighborhood in San Pedro, CA, hoping for a fresh start and better life. Immediately, they feel like outcasts and are not welcomed by their eclectic neighbors as they had hoped. A thick, dangerous fog from LA Harbor forces everybody to stay indoors on Christmas Eve, and things go quickly from bad to worse when the apartment building is overtaken by a horde of blood-thirsty, feral killer cats. Now the family and their new neighbors must band together and overcome their differences if they are going to fend off the cats and survive until Christmas morning.”

Keli Price is producing under his Price Productions banner, along with Garcia under his Small Town Pictures banner, with Javier C. Ortiz and Amado DeHoyos executive producing.

Filming is set to begin in Los Angeles in February, so stay tuned for additional details as they arrive. In the meantime, check out the film’s Kickstarter poster below.
