Beats the remake by more than a whisker, though Nastassia Kinski was really HOT in that flick!!! But this pounces on the remake in terms of style and content!
One of my fav classic movie i watched this back in the 80s when i was very little with my grandma n it scared the shit outta me haha.im so glad i had a classy fam 2 teach me n show me all the great classics not like 2days garbage.
In film you can see that strange woman come to Irena and tell her on Serbian language" You are my sister...." in restaurant called Beograd like Serbs call His Capitol Belgrade. It was their gathering First time to hear this legend is from one Lybian Guy who said that some problem is nothing for us because we are Balkan Lions.At first I think that he is crazy but now??The man who make scenario must have problem with our women. They look fantastic,but!!!!
Curse of the Cat People is neat, it's as if Irena comes back as an Angel. Oops. Don't want to give too much away. But anyway, Cat People is a swell movie.
@sharona1981 I loved the Malcolm McDowell version (and that's rare for me to prefer a remake to an original). Actually I only saw the full version of the original last night on TMC, followed by a documentary on Val Lewton narrated by Martin Scorcese. Both excellent.
One of the most underated movies ever! I've seen alot of horror movies and all, but I personally foudn the psychological and supernatural concepts here along with the stalking scenes to be 10 times better than the horror my generation seems to be getting today. I know I'm a bit different for prefering the classics, but I don't care. I find something more haunting in them. The acting, camera angles, shadows, and lighting were excellent. Movies like this inspire me to try to major in film someday.
@balrog13571I finally bought "Cat People" 1942 and "Curse of The cat People" 1944 about a month ago. Both are fantastic. The acting is superb. Why are today's movies so dumbed-down? I mean actors can only deal with what material they are given... so in a way we have no idea how good modern actors are today.
@balrog13571 I totally agree with it, although I also like the newer version of catpeople with Natassja Kinski.
Ik had also hadf a great suspence with the same stalkihng scene's. It even had teh swimming pool scene as in the the 1942 version. Together with the mystic music from David Bowie, this 1982 version whas a great version too. Are there still some horror masterpieces made between 1980 and now by your opinion, that can match the old classic horror movies you talking about?
Yeah I thought the remake was okay too, though strangely enough it actually seemed to suffer whenever it was imitating the original because the tone of those scenes kind of clashed with the remake's new tone making them seem out of place if that makes any sense. As for your question, yes I have enjoyed many films from that time, but for different reasons. Lewton's were scary in the psychological sense, while 80's ones had those amazing effects, gore, and sometimes a comedic style.
Val Lewton's movies used the "power of suggestion" so when ur watching this film your you see things but conclusions are left up to the viewers imagination.
Easiest thing in the world to find this movie. It's on DVD. Try Amazon.com.

I've only ever seen the version with Malcolm McDowell, which was pretty good for a remake. This looks interesting though, must check it out.
