Wanna see a crazy trailer for a super bizarre-looking film titled She’s Allergic To Cats? Of course, you do! This is an experimental psychedelic fever dream love story that originally premiered at Fantasia Film Festival in 2016. After that, the movie pretty much disappeared, until today, with the release of this trailer.
The film tells the story of a dog groomer living in L.A. who pursues the woman of his dreams. It’s said the movie “has something for everyone. From cats taking on the roles from Carrie, dogs being bathed in slow-motion, beats to bop to, and a loveable underdog to root for.”
This looks like an insanely wild film, and this is the synopsis, which teases the psychological insanity that awaits the viewer:
A dog groomer in Hollywood aspires to be more than a dog groomer in Hollywood. Michael Pinkney is a man struggling with his lower income lifestyle in the shadow of the film industry. His job is degrading, his home is infested with rats and his mind constantly wanders into a lo-fi dreamscape that mirrors his analog video experiments. Michael’s menial routine then spirals out of control when he meets Cora (Sonja Kinski), the girl of his dreams. On their first date his greatest hopes and worst fears are realized as they journey down a dark, twisted path that descends into surreal chaos… The boundaries between reality, fantasy, art, romantic-comedy and horror collide in an explosion of distorted video art and psychological insanity.
The movie was directed by Michael Reich and it stars Mike Pinkney, Sonja Kinski, Veronika Dash and Flula Borg. She’s Allergic To Cats will be released direct-to-VOD starting on April 7th, 2020. Now, watch the trailer and let the madness just sink in.
