Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Steven Millan – ★★★½☆
   “NIGHT OF 1000 CATS offers its fair share of suspense and thrills as it is well acted by the cast and decently helmed by Cardona Jr.”
2. OmahaJon – ★★☆☆☆
   “The notoriety of Rene Cardona Jr.’s 1972 exploitation film THE NIGHT OF A THOUSAND CATS stands taller than the actual film. It’s a precursor to the sort of exploitation films he would do later, arguably better too, all solidifying a nasty unfortunate status for their animal cruelty.”
3. BenGrimm – ★☆☆☆☆
   “This movie is barely over an hour long but felt like it was taking a lifetime. I never thought there would be a day where I was begging a movie to get to a scene where the cats are eating people.”
