Plot – Spoilers:
Adrian, living in Romania, is obsessed with Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway after seeing her as Catwoman and wants to impress her into acting in his film. For this, he convinces three Romanian actresses to star in his movie as a sort of pilot for Anne to judge his talents. And as the clincher, he decides to make it a snuff movie.
Random Trivia:
Edit: The following is said to be inaccurate by the director in the comments section.
The scene where Sonia calls the police has been claimed by the director as having actually happened. Apparently, the actress started to panic that things were turning too real for her.
Speaking in Romanian was the pre-agreed safeword between director and actors and there’s one more scene with Sonia, where she’s tied up and breaks out of character, shifting to Romanian.
Similarly, the men who turn up in the basement were also real neighbours.
Starts of ok and the director character seems interesting, but his character is one dimensional and can’t carry the film as it progresses. Indeed. character investment is absent until the end which can’t erase what has come before. I lost interest. 1.5/5 dead cats
I quite liked the movie. Even though there was not much going on throughout it I liked the way the main character was just in his own fantasy world justifying the bad things he did by saying it was for the film. He truly was psychotic and I love those kinds of characters and find them interesting. I liked how the actress alexandra used his craziness as a means to spare her life and the ending kind of felt happy.
That was fkn hilarious … So cringey to the point it was comedic. I would probably watch this again one day when I’m off my head.
The movie was very realistic at times because of the acting, but sort of uneventful still. The ending was pretty tense though since I didn’t know what’d become of the last girl.
I liked this movie it’s good and creepy. It’s something different.
well i found it enjoyable,something different & offbeat
Such a stupid movie…
caralho muito ruim
Only available on us streaming services, once again glad that this movie is on here
lol this guy making this shitty movie is a fucking retard that clearly just came out of the pshyco asylum that poor girl that had to find herself in that shit i really feel sorry for her!!!!!
this is a frustrating movie to watch. i think the main character is a really interesting subject. there’s moments throughout where i can see the genuine characterization that he cares very deeply about anne hathaway. that? is interesting! i feel like if we spent more time with that concept, with his obsession, how far that obsession needs to go, i would have enjoyed this more. as it is, i am kind of inundated with his interactions with the movie he’s making. this falls flat for me because i don’t know why he wants to make this movie as much as i know that he wants anne to see it. but we’re told from the jump that he’s been working on it for years before seeing her in batman. man, i don’t think of myself as much of a gorehound, but i really wanted this movie to be a lot gnarlier! show me a guts!!! reveal them from behind your hanging sheet! more blood! *shakes fist* the actresses involved have really interesting performances. i think the two after sonia have great chemistry with one another, but when it comes to adrien, there is such a disconnect. i get that he is unhinged. i get that when it comes to that, his intonation and cadence isn’t going to be what someone might regularly expect. i find myself really aggravated watching him talk, listening to him talk and repeat himself and have such a weirdly jokey tone with every piece of dialogue. we… Read more »

what is blud wafflin about
oh my god! oh my god! oh my god!
The movie is fucking great and his character is amazingly awkward but still strangely likable. One of the best found footage movies with a unique approach.. i’m not sure what all the negative comments are about when lots of movies on this site are pretty terrible in comparison but hey its just my opinion
THIS! I am sorry but hosing sidewalk chalk off my driveway before it rains would’ve felt like a more productive use of my time than watching this garbage. Boo.
OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD !!!
This movie sucked and I had just wasted my time watching this slow, predictable & boring movie. I could’ve just left but I was curious, wanted to know things from my own experience and endured it till the end. How awfully bland, I don’t understand the raving reviews.
I think the basic concept is there, with a bigger budget could’ve been something but it’s clearly fake, a truly mentally disturbed person would film all of what he is filming, the blood would be darker in color if this movie had any real element to it. Blood in large quantities is almost black, a dark red if smeared. also the women, as beautiful as they are, were simply not convincing enough, the first girl at the beginning was, at first. I just don’t believe any woman is naive enough to let a strange man tie them up for the sake of filming a movie at home unless you have a lot of money and/or dope on you! Also Chloroform does not react instantly unless you wrapped an entire towel on someones head soaked in chloroform, they also would wake up 15-20 seconds later and large concentration of chloroform would produce what is known as anesthetic toxicity which is why the skills of an anesthesiologist would be needed in order not to kill the person. I could go on but this movie could’ve been great if at least cow blood and guts were used at least, but it’s not, it looked like syrup.
It is very rare that I don’t/can’t finish a movie… but this is one of them. The directer is obviously barely a step above Karl in “Sling Blade” if he’s more interested in creating silly controversy and sitting here and giving himself 5 stars over and over and over… Maybe if this idiot spent this much time and energy on actually making a movie instead of trying to manipulate views, he’s produce better films. But I doubt it. I mean the guy even looks like Karl. And frankly, the movie really and truly sucks. And that is for sure and for certain.
One star only because I can’t give this moron zero.
Va bene, ti chiami Dottor Lecter ma non devi essere un bastardo odioso per forza.
Leggere un commento in italiano mi ha spiazzato ahahaha, comunque assurdo/bellissimo che il regista sia qui nei commenti. A me è piaciuto è da un po’ che ne sentivo parlare.
based on bjork stalker?
Not at all, I actually had no idea of the Bjork stalker at the time of making the film, I learned a couple of years later from fans asking the same question.
Okay first of all.. i love this site.. thank you 🙂 secondly as a person who watches alot of found footage i can say this is definitely an excellent film most found footage loses you in how boring the characters are after 5 mins.. Adrian is strangely likeable and holds your attention.. my only dissapointment was with the end the more gore the better for me.. but that doesnt take away from it being a good example of a FF movie well done 🙂 Also while the ending of ‘Reel’ is brutal.. the rest of the movie is kinda meh.. you stay only because you know its building up to something.. Be my cat keeps your attention from min 1 imo 🙂
Thank you!
Thanks for the movie.
The movie’s director here. The trivia is not accurate. I never claimed that a scene went too far or that the actress panicked and called the police because of that. Also, Sonia did not break out of character in the scene where she’s tied up.
I do not believe in manipulating audiences as a way to draw sales, I always made it clear that the movie is entirely fiction and never tried to present any of the scenes as genuine or “too far gone”.
Obviously u believe in manipulating votes tho, and the vote count/rating of ur movie listed here, smfh. Weird how those #s jumped *so* dramatically in less than a day:/
Btw, did u end up finding Anne? ?
@Elliot Spencer
We’ve disabled logging completely and don’t track users, so it’s not possible to determine if ratings are being manipulated 🙁
The only way to avoid such a thing would be to start tracking IP addresses and we don’t want to do that.
@admin- Nobody else wants ya to either, lol. With all due respect tho, it went from being rated yesterday afternoon/evening a ~2.7 with I don’t remember the # of votes, ~30ish maybe, if that, to right now with a 4.5 and 127 votes, currently? As I’m sure u know, most of the films on ur top rated film list here (nice addition btw), as well as most others on this site, don’t even have anywhere near that # of votes, n some of those have been here a while…
I’m all for the vote rating, I’m just letting it be known that this rating is bullshit, and it loox like sadly it went IMDb status w fake votes, just digging that hole deeper. Not tryin to create static, I just calls em likes I sees em;)
Yeah, well I’m seeing the same thing. Typical amateur marketing ploy. Create a controversy to drum up curiosity… and then manipulate audience reaction with fake votes.
Pitiful… and caught with his puggy little hand in the cookie jar.
@Adrian Țofei.
Thanks. Added a correction to the post.
However, we got this combination of trivia from a number of places including IMDB and your official site
https://adriantofei.com/be-my-cat-insights/
where the text at the time of writing this post read:
“Director and star Adrian Țofei told actress Sonia Teodoriu to respect the indications that his character in the movie was going to give to her character during improvisations. Therefore, when he asked her (in character) to reject him, she unexpectedly called the police for real while shooting one of the scenes. One of the policemen who came understood and said that “the emotions in her role became so intense that she genuinely felt the need to make the call.”
The last one about the neighbours was our guess 🙂
@admin, thanks for adding the correction! I thought it’s clear from what I wrote on my website that the actress called the police in character, not out of character, but regardless, I’ve now edited my production notes to make it even clearer.
We did have a language switch, but not really as a safe word, it was to clearly differentiate between our real relationship director-actress and our fictional relationship fictional-director – fictional-actress. But there were exceptions for moments when our characters had to switch to Romanian and the scene where Sonya is tied is one of them.
But YOU DO obviously believe in lying…. Get bent, Ricky Retardo.
Hit me up on letterboxd mr director pretty please. Name’s Fearful.eye
As a romanian, i’m so fucking glad that i’ve discovered a movie like this on this site. I didn’t know that we could have this type of culture. Felicitari!
Mulțumesc!
the director of this will follow u back on lebbertoxd if you give this a good rating LOL but i did actually enjoy it i think it is fun. recommend if u like pseudo snuff/found footage and are willing to not take it too seriously
hello mayoi ayase ensemble stars, you wouldnt happen to have an obsession with a man named tsumugi…
The funny part is that the director (Twitter, YouTube) is still promoting his movie
The beginning was actually pretty good no joke, and I love how he constantly tells the 2 actresses to « fix the problem » or something like that, you know they’re not going anywhere, all confused X)
Refreshing, better than the 2 last august underground movies imo
Snuff film really need to be original, a bit of weirdness and some gore maybe.
Well anyways thank you!!
I.m from Romania so it was nice to see a movie from my country.
Thank you admin for all the movies!
Thanks for the plethora of new movie uploads lately admins:)
Hmm, where to begin… this film had the unique attribute of being very cringe while at the same time being very boring af. Meh camera work, not in the aspect of some shakey cam synonymous w found footage, but just very basic and one dimensional. Also, if our protagonist would’ve never repeated any of his lines, the movie prbly would’ve been a ½hour long, lol.
On the plus side, sound n lighting was decent(for what it was), and the ending was kinda unique and oddly happy/funny. If u enjoyed this film tho, n want to watch a FF ‘snuff’ film like this that u prbly never heard of, do a search for ‘slashervictim666’ n watch his film titled Reel, which he has posted for free. Still kinda sucks but vastly better than this, w a brutal ending. If ur into FF that is.
I’ll give the film a 3/10, bc the ending was kinda suprising and refreshing (esp compared to the rest of the film, which was tough to keep interest in), imo. I could tell the director was having fun making it, which is nice I suppose. A labor of love maybe? I COULD NOT stop thinking how this films plot was kinda like the one in Borat;)
Could only find trailers for his movies, so not sure where to look for the full length versions.

Thanks, I didn’t want to post any links again, lol;)
type in sonia teodoriu on google and an image of the guy and the actresses comes up taken at an event after the movie was made.
What In The Fuck Did I Just Watch -1/10
This snuff film is supposed to be fake, but the actors got to a point where it was too realistic and tried to get police help.
Yay, this is present! I remember searching for this movie on this site about a month or two ago. Can’t wait to finally watch it!
crazy stuff…true or fake???
thx
