This film let me down on a few points. Why would a woman untrained in handling a wild animal bring a leopard into a crowded nightclub on a leash? Why would another performer startle the animal so that he broke free in the nightclub? Another woman goes to the town cemetary, which is entirely walled in, and is told that the cemetary will close in a few minutes. She walks to the other side of the cemetary and stands there. The caretaker blows a whistle--twice--and she looks up but makes no move to leave or even call out that she's still inside. Horror of horrors, she gets locked inside! What did she think was going to happen? Elsewhere in town a mother sends her teen-aged daughter out at night to buy cornmeal when there are people being murdered, supposedly by a wild leopard. The girl comes home screaming and pounding on the door begging her mother to let her inside because something is after her. The mother tells her to be quiet and continues to cook while her daughter screams for her life. Finally, the mother goes to unlock the door, only it's too late. I could go on, but really, what kind of people behave like this? The movie was also slow-paced, and the actors were flat. The screaming teen-ager was the most believable character in the film
