Cat People Ratings & Reviews

  • AngusMcNutzOctober 21, 2024
    Man, you really could just make a movie in the 40s
  • Mister ArnMay 16, 2025
    In "Cat People," Jacques Tourneur masterfully employs lighting and plot development to build suspense. While the film may lack intense action sequences, those who stay patient will find that the story gradually transforms into an entertaining experience.

    The original is better than the remake, especially if you like film noir.
  • mickerdooNovember 27, 2025
    Although handsomely filmed, ultimately plays out pretty mild. Simon and Randolph were good. Maybe more jump of gnarling?
