So far I've only seen CAT PEOPLE and THE LEOPARD MAN, which was quite good and in the same ballpark as CAT PEOPLE. There's more tension and a few more scares in THE LEOPARD MAN, although I do prefer CAT PEOPLE in general.Marc Pilvinskyhttp://marcpilvinsky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-23354575598335805982011-11-03T13:34:36.767-07:002011-11-03T13:34:36.767-07:00What Curse of the Cat People lacked in Curses and ...What Curse of the Cat People lacked in Curses and Cats, it more than made up for with People. There were definitely people in it.<br /><br />Funny. It was Simone that I was smitten with.

My favorite movie was "I Walked With a Zombie" which Lewton and Tourneur made right after this. It's beautiful, haunting, and truly creepy. <br /><br />Not to spoil anything, but the sequel "Curse of the Cat People" is a very different type of movie. Another clear case of Lewton going "Alright studio, you gave me another lurid, terrible title, but I'm going to make the kind of movie I want to make."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-35285957456385222652011-11-02T08:10:41.024-07:002011-11-02T08:10:41.024-07:00The sequel is not much like the original at all.

It's not necessary to watch them back to back.Chris Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744880312110116666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-9823737881171173792011-11-01T22:53:48.517-07:002011-11-01T22:53:48.517-07:00I said already once that I always mean most classi...I said already once that I always mean most classics to know. Also with this film I must find out embarrassed that my assertion is not right, The only film with the title "Cat People" which I know is with Nastasia Kinski from the 80th.<br /><br />But it is nicely to be known that there are still people who know not only the new films!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750384332347562905noreply@blogger.com
