Reviews
Neil Diamond fans enjoyed the humorous guest appearances of their star, who had been rather quiet in previous years. Otherwise, cat terror received mostly mediocre to bad reviews. Above all, the flat and sometimes rough humor of the comedy was criticized.
“Shy comedy that hides its sexually reactionary attitude with tasteless jokes. Executed by an ensemble of untalented filmmakers in front of and behind the camera, the unbelievable story fizzles out into sheer boredom. "
