Be My Cat: A Film for Anne is a 2015 Romanian found footage psychological horror feature film directed, produced, written by, and starring Adrian Țofei, about an aspiring filmmaker who goes to extremes to convince actress Anne Hathaway to star in his film. It is the first entry in Adrian Țofei's planned indie trilogy which includes We Put the World to Sleep and Pure. It is also Adrian Țofei's first film and Romania's first found footage horror movie.[1]
Be My Cat was named by IndieWire one of "the 50 best indie horror movies to stream", by Blumhouse "a new intelligent film" people "need to see", and by Dread Central one of the "top 5 best horror movies of 2016". It won Best Film at the 2015 A Night of Horror Film Festival in Sydney and Best Actor for Țofei at the 2016 Nashville Film Festival.[2][3][4][5][6]
IndieWire called it "a hidden gem", "a nonstop nightmare" and "a dazzling debut", Austin Chronicle called it "terrifying" and compared it to a modern Peeping Tom, Little White Lies called it "a prime example of meta-cinema" and said it falls between Man Bites Dog and Creep, Dread Central described it as "revolutionary and dangerous", and WatchMojo included the film in top 5 best low budget horror movies alongside classics The Blair Witch Project, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Night of the Living Dead. It is considered a cult film.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
Be My Cat: A Film for Anne initially received a limited release by Adrian Țofei in 2016, then benefited from a wider release by distributor Terror Films in 2018, and in 2020 cult distributor TetroVideo gave the movie a special limited DVD release. Adrian Țofei also made it available on signed Blu-ray and signed DVD on his website.[13][10][14][15][16][17][18][19]
