Cat People | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Just like the old school gangster films that opened with empty warnings about the fact that crime doesn’t pay, the narrative limits do little to discount the expression of liberated and violent feminine desire.

Very much a product of its time, it still holds up nicely as a solid horror thriller. Not only does (it) drip with atmosphere -- much of it provided by the spooky, well-shot New Orleans setting -- but it boasts a strong cast.

Paul Schrader makes this movie his own and I found it to be intoxicating, strange, and at times horrific- a reimagining served with a side of mysticism that is certainly never dull.
