Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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 Horton

Rating: - Channeling A Sexual Beast: 80s Style
Despite having been young, semi-conscious (I was under five years old) and possessing few actual memories of the nineteen eighties, the decade has a certain personal eroticism for me. The powdery skin, shimmering camerawork, the outrageous kink and camp of the clothing, the archetypical section of dim-minded actresses performing with the joyful vacant-eyed faces of children: these all stir my heart. The film Cat People was a smarter film when compared to too much of the artistic output of the nineteen ... Read More

DID NOT WORK WITH FRIENDS VCR BUT OWNER GENEROUSLY GAVE AREFUND FOR MY MISTAKE. THANK YOU
Rating: - Bewitching
Kinski and Heard are starstruck lovers burdened by the fact that she will turn into a ferocious beast. The set design, the cast, the moody atmospheric score all combine to make a artistic statement. Some of the visuals are cheaply disturbing, when Malcolm changes from man to beast leaving slime everywhere and Kinski naked for no apparent reason. But overall the film captures the feline essence of a femme fatale and a man obsessed.
Rating: - How does this compare to the 1998 DVD release of this same film?
I love the film and I have the 98 version of it, however I am wondering what the 2002 dvd release includes. Is it different than the 98 version. The 98 dvd release is hard to hear, I have to turn my tv way up when watching it. Does the 2002 release have better sound quality?
Rating: - Wild Cat People!
This was quite an interesting movie, especially with wildcats and people who become them, which in this case were Nastassja Kinski(Irena) and Malcolm McDowell(Paul) along with the fact that CAT PEOPLE had a lot of violence and nudity, especially since Natassja Kinski did quite a bit of nude scenes with full frontal nudity showing Nastassja Kinski's boobs, coochie, and tushy in the scenes where Irena(Nastasjja Kinski)roams around naked for no apparent reason in the middle of the night eating animals and ...
