Full Plot Details

Serbian national Irena Dubrovna, a fashion sketch artist, has recently arrived in New York for work. The first person who she makes a personal connection with there is marine engineer Oliver Reed. The two fall in love and get married despite Irena's reservations, not about Oliver but about herself. She has always felt different than other people, but has never been sure why. She lives close to the zoo, and unlike many of her neighbors is comforted by the sounds of the big cats emanating from the zoo. And although many see it purely as an old wives' tale, she believes the story from her village of ancient residents being driven into witchcraft and evil doing, those who managed to survive by escaping into the mountains. After seeing her emotional pain, Oliver arranges for her to see a psychiatrist to understand why she believes what she does. In therapy, Dr. Judd, the psychiatrist, learns that she also believes, out of that villagers' tale, that she has descended from this evil - women who change into great cats like panthers in passion, anger or jealousy - and that she will turn into a such a dangerous big cat upon being kissed in turn killing her lover and others who have betrayed her. This belief is why she has resisted falling in love before she met Oliver. Learning this information from Irena, Oliver wants to do whatever needed to help her as does Dr. Judd. But Irena's beliefs may be tested when Oliver's friendship with a co-worker named Alice Moore may become more than just friends...

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonThe horror is fueled by sexual frustration, repressed passion, and the everyday anxieties of marriage and urban life, and it plays out in a noir-lit New York filled with everyday people. No fan of gothic castles, Lewton brought horror home with Cat People.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffThis is a weird drama of thrill-chill caliber.
Classic Film and Television - 10/10 by Michael E. GrostUnpleasant film argues we should be afraid of people who are different.
Cinema Crazed - 10/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Val Lewton's most brilliant and subtly sexual horror films ever made.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAs well as being scary, the film deals intelligently with sex and the psyche.
Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonA masterpiece of the genre: No less than Martin Scorsese has stated that the movie is "as important as Citizen Kane in the maturation of the American cinema."
Stream on Demand - 10/10 by Sean Axmaker... a masterpiece of mood and psychological ambiguity masquerading as a cheap exploitation knock-off. Cheap it is, but Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur create mood not out of what is seen, but what isn't.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertCat People wasn't frightening like a slasher movie, using shocks and gore, but frightening in an eerie, mysterious way that was hard to define; the screen harbored unseen threats, and there was an undertone of sexual danger that was more ominous because it was never acted upon.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 10/10 by Donald J. LevitScenes where Irena shadows her rival are burned into cinema memory.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 10/10 by Bob BloomA Val Lewton classic that proves in horror, the less you show, the scarier the movie.
