    I have two theories for this short film:
    Theory A: The three other people in this film are either figments of this guy's imagination, or people he has actually killed in the past, and he is simply reliving the memory of killing them. The end scene represents how he is a prisoner to his own mind, trapped in a continuous game of cat and mouse by his dark impulses.
    Theory B: The three other people in this short film are actually people the main character has killed in the past, and these are their spirits playing mind games/tormenting him, perhaps to prevent him from killing other people in the future or out of revenge. Maybe the main character is actually dead and this is his version of hell, but I feel that is a bit of a stretch.

    Humans are the real monsters, and that's the most frightening thing about them. All we need to do is stroll around with our eyes open as life swarms with innocent killers. The protagonist played the cat's game because the monsters were inside his head, he kidnapped or dabbled in dreams and carried his monstrosity inside his mind. At the first scene he uses silence really well to increase the effect the film has on us and you can't be distracted. It has a good very dark plot to keep you engage. Even though the final act is far-fetched, this is a compelling and suspenseful short film. Still want to see one more time to understand even my own intelligence. The writing is neat, with nearly zero unwanted dialogues or scenes. ALTER always proves that he is the one who gives us a fantastic cinematic experience. Thank you.

    Only explanation I can think of is, A Psycho- Not your usual serial killer! He has murdered a number of people in real life and re-visited the situations in his mind to play the cat and mouse game with his victims. A compelling storyline, good music and acceptable cinematography is what held this short film together. Yet another classic from ALTER. Thanks to the makers and no one but ALTER.

    Edit: holy crap!!! The film is bomb!!!
    I couldn't predict till the end. 🥺
    Edit 2: this is my theory....
    The man is either a serial killer or a person plagued with the blood on his hands.
    He re-lives the torture to reminiscent the thrill of the games he played with the victim.
    Kind of like a morbid re-roll.

      @@BlueViewCinema just did.
      Aline by Christophe. Beautiful song.
      But I think I'm biased towards the Arch Tremors one you guys used in The Alter Version. My reasons being:
      1. The lyrics about 4 people starting a trouble in a seemingly organised complacent situation.... mimics and plays right into the mood for the film with 4 charecters and an unanticipated change.
      2. I'm a non native English speaker. But unfortunately I can't speak French. Which I guess is the case for many people.
      Even though it sounds exotic, I can't understand the lyrics of a French song. So it can be off putting. However, since I can understand the lyrics of the other English song it adds an element of anticipation. Like... Is this song an Easter egg to the plot?
      3. The second song choice personally feels more suited to the mood of the film than the first one once that I've read the translated Lyrics of Aline.
      I saw the B&W version of the film too. That feels really good too!! Gave a vintage noir vibe.

      Hi Michelle! Great question! The ending demonstrates that this entire scenario was all in his head. That each person was one of his multiple personalities. He’s playing an unwinnable game with himself, hence why we call it “Cat’s Game.” There are little hints throughout that help explain. Sometimes a second viewing explains it better.

    This movie definitely is inspired partly by the William Hughes Mearns poem “Antigonish” A portion of it is on the side of the refrigerator:
    “Yesterday upon the stair
    I met a man who wasn’t there
    He wasn’t there again today
    I wish, I wish he’d go away”

      Hi! The ending demonstrates that this entire scenario was all in his head. That each person was one of his multiple personalities. He’s playing an unwinnable game with himself, hence why we call it “Cat’s Game.” There are little hints throughout that help explain. Sometimes a second viewing explains it better.

    Wow, this is epic. My first thought when they all start laughing was that this is come kind of twisted role play, cos play to the extreme, and its all literally a game.
    Then the ending, and now what I'm thinking is this guy invaded a home, and took it over(much like the guy at the end of Unbreakable) and these were the family members he killed, and now that their gone there was no more "fun". When the guy who escaped says "your game is no longer fun, let's make it fun" it may be his psychoses reliving the event over and over like a sick choose your own adventure fantasy.
    Either way, the song at the beginning immediately set an eerie vibe, the main actor was excellent as were all the cast. Extremely well done.

    My take: They all are the souls of the previous owners (different time periods)of this house who each did gruesome family killings by being driven into a madness/frenzy like state by the house, then committing suicide and are now stuck in a Limbo going through an endless loop/are just passing their time until the next occupant comes to stay and the loop gets started again.

The latest occupant as per the timeline seems to be someone from 2020 who would be A family man/woman as usual... Someone who has a weak set of mind that the house and its long gone " residents" could easily manipulate into committing the same set of crimes they did before by killing their family and then finally taking his /her's own life.

    I found this so disturbing. I actually thought he was this sweet but crazy guy at the beginning who was making a really nice meal for his three cats (crazy cat guy) and then he opens the door of his victims and I am like...what???? But then he opens another door and a victim has escaped only to change up the game on him. Then I was thinking at one point...is this psychopath vs sociopath. As Crazy Cat guy didn't seem to have empathy but scary escapee victim (and his look at 5:32 mark...that was just terrifyingly chilling) seems to want to play with his toys (hence other victims) and not get bored. But then the end...I was like, "okay did he get done in by the sociopathic victim....or did that just imagine that is how he got done in? Did he get done in?" Then his eyes at the end said he was in his own hell when he saw himself and knew that he was going to have to go over and over this for penance for what he did while he was alive before he was killed off (or was he caught? and then killed?). I took it he had died based on him seeing himself and the dead victims all acting very alive and that this was his bed he made for the afterlife.

    I love it when we, the audience, think that we're getting 1 thing and it turns out to be something else. Because, opening scenes, of course you'd think: Ah, it's just that old cliche'd sick kidnapper scenario once again OK let's see what spin this particular filmaker or team puts on it. I actually viewed this 2X to pick up on things I missed the first time. Most of these horror shorts are Really Good Stuff and pschological type horror is my favorite because the scare factor & horror usually turns out to be human....a lot of times, our ownselves.

    Now *THAT* was crazy as a bedbug!!!

    I thought it was going to run along the lines of _'The Collector'_ with his careful scanning of the vicinity, as he entered the house, then upped my view to a grander scale, as he fed three with cat food, suggesting someone was playing cat and mouse with audience perceptions. At one point I even thought maybe it was some sexual deviancy group BDSM game, when the supporting character decided the game would continue, but under new rules. 😂
    Once the manic laughter began the penny began to drop.

Then I saw how he resembled the protagonist & now I'm convinced he's dealing with these in his mind or he's dead and this is his torment. Either way, it's just perpetual and he's always the victim and the perpetrator.
