From RKO comes the classic horror thriller _Cat People_. The story follows a Serbian émigré who believes that she’s a descendant of a tribe of Cat People who turn into panthers when they give into their sexual desires, and is tested when she’s perused by a young man who wants to marry her. The cast gives fairly strong performance, especially Simone Simon and Jane Randolph, and director Jacques Tourneur does an impressive job at creating tension and suspense. Still, the writing is a little weak with some awkward time jumps and is rather vague on the rules of being a cat person. Yet while it has a few problems, _Cat People_ is a solidly entertaining film that delivers some disturbing frights.

So people were dying in the war fields of WW2 and in gas chambers, yet they thought that a mentally challenged woman who thinks that she is a ferocious predator is frightening? What the actual f*ck man! Lame story,poor acting,bad idea overall.

I don’t typically like older movies (black and white). This was enjoyable, the tension was really well done and the acting is beautiful.

Well directed, it maintains the tension, that use of shadows, that suggest rather than show

I'd rate this one an UGH out of 10 if I could.

This movie is prancing along like a romantic comedy, when, on what seems to be their second or third date, Oliver and Irena have this perplexing conversation.

guy: do you love me?
girl: mm-hmm
guy: you know I've never kissed you?

Simone Simon ("Irina Dubrovna") comes to work in New York where she falls in love with Kent Smith ("Oliver Reed"). Their relationship soon becomes strained after she struggles with intimacy - you see she believes that should she ever even kiss someone she loved, she would turn into a violent feline More
