Bad Donald: The Movie
Warning:may contain spoilers.
In the cult classic made-for-tv movie Bad Donald, the shy three legged orange tabby accidentally kills his Dad. Dad trips over Donald in the dark and hits his head on the sink. Donald, afraid and full of remorse, buries his beloved Dad in the litter box. Donald then decides to avoid the police by hiding behind the storage containers under the bed. His plan works until new tenants move into the apartment. Donald terrorizes their poor golden retriever puppy named Babs. Poor Babs tries to warn her master that something is very wrong in this apartment, but no one pays any attention to her. Chaos ensues when the nosy neighbor, Mrs Shoemaker, looks in the window and sees Donald eating Babs' kibble. Mrs Shoemaker has a stroke and dies from the shock of seeing Donald alive. Donald panics and has no choice but to bury her under the porch. The family's suspicions deepen until the stunning climax that will send you screaming when Donald suddenly claws his way through the mattress.

What constitutes a cult classic? Does one have to be a member of the cult to watch it? Or does watching the movie make you a de facto member of the cult. Is it really a classic movie? For example, I could get a group of people together and we could shave our heads, wear orange sherbet robes, and chant nam yoho renga kyo, while we watch Gone With The Wind. But that doesn't make it a cult classic.
No, its something bigger than that. It's a community of like minded people who think enough about a film to invite their friends over and say 'You need to see this movie'. After the movie, you're like whoa, what the hell just happened. You start talking about it and thinking about it and boom, you're in the cult.
Screaming is a great way to relieve tension. So if you like to scream and laugh at the same time (Without all the blood of a Quentin Tarantino movie) go out and rent Bad Ronald and watch it with some friends tonight.
Sorry, Bad Donald isn't out on DVD.
