Nastassia Kinski stars as Irena, a beautiful young woman on the bridge of sexuality; she discovers love for the first time only to find that the explosive experience brings with it tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this girl's first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her – including her brother's (Malcolm McDowell) extraordinary demands – as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. With a style as timeless as myth, Cat People is an erotic fantasy of the passion and terror that surround this girl's first love. Desire… passion… blood, her lust transforms her into one of the Cat People.
After years of separation, Irena Gallier and her minister brother, Paul, reunite in New Orleans. When zoologists capture a wild panther, Irena is drawn to the cat – and zoo curator Oliver to her. Soon, Paul will have to reveal the family secret: that when sexually aroused, they revert into predatory jungle cats.

Meh PeopleThe original of this is one of the best horror films……a monster movie that almost never shows the monster. Really creppy, despite the $1.50 budget, and full of sexual suggestion that gave the whole thing a really sense of tension and desire. Now…..oh well. It's all sex, all the suspense has been drained out of it and left it a limp piece of gore, just like poor Ed Begley's arm. I am all for a little more sex here and there, and I love Paul Schrader, but he got way too overconfident here and made a film which relies a little -- or a lot -- on seeing Nastassja Kinski naked. If you really think this is great, watch the original. The acting in that won't win any Oscars either, but the direction and production are really pretty amazing..Score: 2/5
Oh You Sexy Cat People YouOnly the 80’s could produce such a spectacle, Natassja Kinski taking her clothes off in every other scene and captured in prurient vivid 80’s cinematographic style. It’s worth checking out just for her raw sensuality, there are some kinky scenes worked into the mix but the movie does evoke a creepy horror vibe throughout. They play off the original Cat People but give it a nicer ending, yeah… really hokey 80’s stuff through and through. I can imagine some people finding the entire thing gratuitous and worthless, but that was the 80’s regarding almost everything..Score: 4/5
A Classic!Such a great movie!! I remember watching this when I was a kid and being both scared and mesmerized at the same time. I bought the film before I had iTunes about a year ago and it still brings out the same feelings that it did when I was younger. Fantastic story, great acting, awesome soundtrack, and really great special effects! A must buy or rent!.Score: 5/5

An Underrated Classic!A supremely intelligent super-chic erotic horror fantasy, beautifully realized by director Paul Schrader and the masterful performances of Nastassja Kinski and the great Malcolm McDowell. A quality film that should not be forgotten!..Score: 5/5
Bad plot too much fake emotionThis is definately an 80s movie, there was too much artistry and not enough plot. Definately a no.Score: 2/5
Didn't Age WellI remember this from 30 years ago. Somehow I had a good memory of this film. But I gotta say, it is only ok. NK is not as hot as I remember and the story is sort of lame. A rental but not a buy. I only gave it 3 stars coz I think Annette O'Toole is super hot..Score: 3/5
