The Cat Creature (1973)


ABC
Directed by Curtis Harrington
My rating: 2 stars out of 4

Keye Luke from the old Charlie Chan movies steals an amulet off an Egyptian mummy. This unleashes a centuries-old priestess who takes the form of a cat and starts killing people in LA. Police detective Stuart Whitman, with the help of a local professor in Egyptology, unravel the mystery. The clues lead to an occult shop run by an old lady and her new assistant, Meredith Baxter.  Old pro John Carradine has one scene as a hotel clerk, appearing along side a midget prostitute. A typical made-for-TV movie of the week by Harrington, it mixes in everything from vampires, mummies and some poorly trained killer cats with hypnotic powers.
