Cat People
After Irena (Nastassia Kinski), a young woman with a mysterious past, is reunited with her brother Paul (Malcom MacDowell), a series of bizarre events is set into motion. When Irena discovers that her sexuality is intimately linked with that of her brother's--as well as with a strange human-feline metamorphosis they secretly share--the moment is both frightening and alluring. A remake of the 1942 supernatural horror film of the same name, Paul Schrader's version of CAT PEOPLE is more graphic, more eroticized, and more detailed in content. Shot in New Orleans, an eerie stillness permeates the film, coupled with naturally delivered dialogue that moves the story along. Ruby Dee provides extra mysterious insinuations as Female, the sibling's live-in servant in their French-style mansion, and John Heard is perfectly cast as Oliver, the animal biologist and love interest of Irena.

One presumes that among the eroticism and bloodlust a statement is being made, but it is never evident.

Don't!
Perhaps it was both of us in the wrong sort of mood, but this was (arguably) the worst third of a film (we didn't manage till the half even) we have ever ... read more »

Unbelievably BAD!
One of the worst films I've ever seen: Bad acting? Terrible cinematography? Horrible wailing synth soundtrack? Tick, tick, tick.

Harmless titilation
The only reason to watch this film is to look at Natasha Kinski's naked body. (Which is a pretty good reason.) The film is otherwise shameless, frequently ... read more »

Some things never change, like the scary properties of an old dark house and things that go bump in the night. American horror seems transfixed by graphic sadism right now, but the acclaimed Spanish chiller "El Orfanato" harks back to an older tradition of psychological scares epitomized by classics like The Innocents, The Haunting, and Cat People. First-time director Juan Antonio Bayona and screenwriter Sergio G Sanchez make it as a point of honor to take classic horror movie talismans - dark Read more
