Think your dating horror stories are bad? Cat Person takes them to another level. This psychological thriller dives deep into the unsettling reality of modern romance—where a charming emoji or witty text can quickly spiral into obsession and fear.
The film follows Margot (Emilia Jones), a college student who finds herself drawn to Robert (Nicholas Braun), an older man whose charm hides something sinister. What begins as flirtation soon unravels into a tense, anxiety-filled relationship that blurs the line between fantasy and danger. With every message and mixed signal, Margot’s unease grows—until she can no longer tell what’s real and what’s a red flag.
Directed by Susanna Fogel and written by Michelle Ashford, Cat Person—adapted from Kristen Roupenian’s viral New Yorker short story—holds up an uncomfortable mirror to today’s dating culture. It doesn’t offer clear answers about love, consent, or trust; instead, it lingers in the gray areas where fear hides behind politeness and desire turns to dread.
A must-watch for anyone navigating the perils of online connection, Cat Person starts streaming October 17 exclusively on Lionsgate Play via PLDT Home, Smart, and Cignal. Swipe right if you dare.
