R2-originaali, Networking englantilainen DVD-originaali, ei tekstityksiä.

Wilbur Gray (Peter Cushing) is a seemingly eccentric old author who presents his publisher with his latest manuscript. In it Gray claims that cats are the true rulers of Earth, and in the three ensuing stories he expounds this feline theory. In the first story a long-suffering young maid kills the harridan-like mistress of the house, only to be avenged by the old lady's ever-loyal cats. In the second story a family's life is turned upside down when a woman staying with them turns out to be a witch, accompanied by her sinister black cat. In the final tale, a cat exerts a horrifying revenge on its sadistic owner.

The uncanny consists of three storys all of them portraying cats as evil creatures, now this film is mild by todays standard but in the 1970's i can imagine many cat owners at the time having second thoughts about their choice of pet after watching this film.

The film starts well with an author(peter cushing)going to see his publisher with his new book filled with stories he believes are proof that cats are evil.So the first story about a wealthy old woman begins, the woman has alot of cats and has decided to leave everything to them, not a decision that goes down well with those around her.

The second story is much different with a young girl having lost her parents in a plane crash she is sent to live with her aunt and uncle and their daughter who is less than friendly but the girl still has her pet cat and some books on black magic that her mother owned, a great recipe for revenge.

The third and final story, they have saved the best for last here with an actor(donald pleasence)and his mistress deciding to kill his wife so they can be together however his wife had a pet cat which he inherits and when the cat has kittens the actor takes them away from her and that leaves the cat with a desire for revenge.

Overall this is an excellent film, well written and directed with great performances from peter cushing and donald pleasence.If you are a fan of classic horror films then you are sure to find this one very enjoyable all the way through
