Movie Reviews of Cat People
Movie Review: A sensual and haunting film
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cat People" is one of the very few horror movies that is worth appreciating. The film throws light on love, passion and somewhat incest. The direction, editing and the cinematography overwhelemed me a lot. The musical score by Rachael Potter is wonderfull. Almost every charecter in the film delivers a sattisfying and posh performence and the chemistry between John Heard and Nastassia Kinski is worth watching and also Malcolm McDowell's chemistry with Kinski had a strong emotional bond which can never ever be unnoticed if you have been watching the film with open windows in your heart and mind. The film had its sensual moments, violent moments and some lighthearted moments. Not just a good horror film but a story with strong emotions. Nastassia Kinski's performence was brilliant, worth appreciating. The conclusion is sattisfying, yet leaves a big impression. In other words "Cat People" is a classic. Thank you Amazon.com once again.
Summary of Cat People
Paul Schrader, the director of American Gigolo, brought a similar kind of sexual chic to this explicit horror movie. A remake of the beautiful, haunting 1942 Cat People, this version takes off from the same idea: that a woman (Nastassja Kinski), a member of a race of feline humans, will revert to her animalistic self when she has sex. Arriving to meet her brother (Malcolm McDowell) in New Orleans, she finds herself disturbed by his sexual presence. A zoo curator (John Heard) becomes fascinated by her, but he will discover that her kittenish ways are just the tip of the claw. Schrader dresses the story up in a stylish, glossy production, keyed on Kinski's green-eyed, thick-lipped beauty; it's hard to think of another actress in 1982 who could so immediately suggest a cat walking on two legs. Luckily Kinski had a European attitude toward her body, because this film has plenty of poster-art nudity. There's also lots of gore and some wacky flashbacks to the ancient tribe of cat people, who hold rituals in an orange desert while Giorgio Moroder's music plays. Cat People doesn't really make all this come together, but it's always interesting to look at, and the dreadful mood lingers. --Robert HortonAction & Adventure DVD Video
