Greedy heirs wait in a mansion for a rich cat lover to die, only to learn her cats come first.

VIBE

A delightfully campy and spooky old dark house mystery. Expect over-the-top performances, creaky passageways, and a delightfully absurd premise. It’s a fun, melodramatic romp that leans into its Gothic atmosphere with a wink.
