	Scifilm -- Reviews, CAT PEOPLE (1942)
		CAT PEOPLE was the first of a series of atmospheric thrillers produced by Val Lewton and the first collaboration between Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur.
		CAT PEOPLE is important not only because it is an excellent movie, but because it influenced many of films that came after.
		One of the charms of CAT PEOPLE is its simplicity.

	CAT PEOPLE (1982) movie review
		People who can turn into animals has got to be the oldest of human fables.
		She barely escapes and manages to slam the door, trapping the big cat.
		The big panther is in a cage there and when the cat sees Irina it flips out, roaring and tearing up its cage.

		The movie recreates a number of scenes from the 1942 version with the cat-like woman coming up to Irena at a bar, in the first film it was at Irena's wedding party, as greets her in a foreign language calling her "My sister'.
		Even though Paul Schrader's "Cat People" doesn't in any way measure up to the original the ending was more interesting and innovative with Irena not being killed and Oliver ending up together with her instead of leaving Irena for Alice like Oliver did in the 1942 movie.
		In the end of the movie we see that Oliver accepts Irena for what she is with the knowledge that the only way he can be with her is between the bars that separate them.

	Cat People (1982) - Movie Review
		I've never seen the original 1942 Cat People (I have now -Ed.), but I have a hard time imagining it bears much resemblance to this 1982 remake, courtesy of director Paul Schrader (American Gigolo), writer Alan Ormsby (who wrote Porky's II and four of the Substitute movies), and stars Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell.
		Bizarre from frame one, the story tells of an ancient race of werewolf-like cat people, doomed to turn into fl leopards (is that the same thing as a panther?) if they mate with humans.
		Cat People is less intent on answering those questions than on showing Kinski, Annette O'Toole, and various other women (and men) naked and/or covered in blood.

	EI > DVD > Cat People (1982)
		"Cat People" was previously released on DVD by Image Entertainment back in the late 90's, in a feature-empty, non-anamorphic version now discontinued.
		Again, "Cat People" was previously released on DVD in a poor version now discontinued.
		The 25-minute featurette Cat People: An Intimate Conversation with Paul Schrader is a bit redundant after listening to the commentary track, but also fairly enlightening.

	DVD Times - Cat People
		The death of the prostitute at the hands of Paul in cat form, for instance, is tackily handled and operates from the point of view that the best way to handle the scene is to show as much gore as possible and have the actress' breasts conveniently pop out during the climax.
		Cat People is far from a bad film, but it is certainly not an entirely satisfying one.
		Cat People is presented anamorphically in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1.

		In the meantime I had watched Tourneur’s wonderful I Walked With A Zombie and the sequel to this movie, Curse of the Cat People, and I have to say that while this one is admirable, I think those other two are a bit stronger.
		He says that she is afraid of unleashing evil upon the world—giving the movie the majority of its unsettling themes by examining the validity of equating female sexuality with a devouring evil.
		CAT PEOPLE [1982] is the remake by Paul Schrader, which is very different from this version, but kind of fun in a lurid, 80s kind of way.

		Nor, as some people have suggested, is it a sexploitation piece - although there is some nudity, it is discreet by modern standards, and never seems voyeuristic.
		Schrader certainly injects elements of horror and sex into the movie - the theme, of men and women who are really fl leopards in human guise, who devour their love-prey - can hardly avoid it.
		This Cat People is themed on virginity and a fear of penetration and on the sudden, frightening post-pubertal appearance of blood.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Cat People (1942), Jacques Tourneur, Simone Simon, Kent Smith, dvd review
		Cat People (1942) was a cheap B-movie made on assignment for very little money at RKO.
		Lewton was a well-read intellectual who surmised that people would be more frightened at the things they couldn't see than they would be at actors running around in cat costumes.
		The cat is unseen on the periphery in both scenes, and it's terrifying.

	Cat People (1982) DVD Review
		Paul Schrader’s 1982 film version of the 1942 original “Cat People” is more of a retake on the concept than a remake of the film.
		I think the approach toward making a film like “Cat People” today would probably be as different as the approach used for the 1942 original when compared to the 1982 version.
		The interview with Tom Burman on the makeup effects is great because it reveals rare and never before seen shots of the “Cat People” in mid transformation and still photos from deleted scenes as well as an examination of the effects used in the film.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Cat People (1982) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Although Cat People's supposed themes about the animal nature of sex and love come off as half-cocked, as a simple tale of forbidden romance the film has a brooding appeal — although a taste for early-'80s pastel-toned art direction and Giorgio Moroder's pulsing synthesizer may be required to enjoy it.
		And any movie in which Ed Begley Jr.'s arm is graphically ripped from his torso has its heart in the right place.
		Cat People: An Intimate Portrait by Paul Schrader (25:21) is a fairly shallow series of snippets from a November 2000 interview with the tight-lipped director during which he never delves into its topics in any depth and essentially reiterates his comments heard on the commentary track.

		I also remembered that she turned into a big fl panther or some sort of cat after having sex, so I expected a generous helping of nude scenes and a lot of bloody carnage.
		There's some mumbo jumbo about being descended from cats that were worshipped by some ancient folk...the ancient folk fed the cats living humans and after a time the cats became, well cat-people.
		Irena opts to have Oliver screw her, thus changing her into a cat and living the rest of her life as an animal in a zoo.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Cat People (1982)
		The acting is weak, the soundtrack is this horrendously cheesy synthesizer nonsense, and the writing lacks even a facsimile of authenticity -- so the movie can't even be said to be well-crafted.
		There are a few scenes that establish some creepy tension, but they are brief, and most of them only work independently of the logic of the story.
		This remake has no goal at all: it borrows the basic idea, changes the storyline seemingly arbitrarily, and adds visual explicitness and contrivances that sabotage the psychological effect it seems to be going for.

	Cat People \| Jacques Tourneur 1942
		Its sober psychological basis is barely shaken by the studio’s insistence on introducing, as a stock horror movie ploy, a shot of a fl panther during one crucial scene.
		Seen today, Cat People mixes the ordinary with the occult to create a subtler and more believable terror than would be possible in such hackneyed locales of the horror genre as Transylvania or foggy London town.
		Cat People may have lost some of its edge over the years and what remains may be a bit tarnished, but it is infinitely better than Paul Schrader’s 1982 remake.

	Cat People (1942)
		Certainly no were-cat is ever seen - much growling is heard and the shadow of something is briefly glimpsed prowling through Kent Smith's office, but that could always be the panther from the zoo to whose cage Simon stole the key.
		Even cleverer is a subtext of explanation offered by psychologist Tom Conway that all but outrightly states that Irena's belief that she is a were-feline could as much be a delusion caused by an extreme fear of sex.
		Cat People (1982) was a remake that disappointingly dispensed with all the Lewtonian psychological ambiguity and features elaborate upfront human-feline transformations and much erotic content, although is not an entirely uninteresting effort.

		After a chance confrontation with a bizarre stranger at a restaurant, Simon becomes obsessed with the notion that she's a Cat Woman--a member of an ancient Serbian tribe that metamorphoses into panthers whenever aroused by jealousy.

		"Cat People" (1942) is a classic of its genre, made on a modest budget with minimal special effects, yet managing to evoke a spine-chilling atmosphere of sheer terror.
		Paul Schrader's expensive reworking of the material 40 years later is so different from the original that it can scarcely be counted as a remake.
		"Cat People" is on BBC2 at 10.25pm, Saturday 3rd February 2001.

		The lifeless remnants of the original movie became this 1980s version, which seems to believe that all the classic version was missing was some blood and some nudity.
		Both are under a curse of sorts that forces them to turn into cats if they are sexually aroused (although for Irena, it doesn't occur until she actually completes the act).

	CAT PEOPLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The original 1943 film that inspired the sexier 1982 Natassja Kinski remake is an intriguing metaphor for sexual repression and anxiety.
		When a Manhattan ship architect named Oliver Reed (Kent Smith) marries beautiful but psychologically tortured fashion sketch artist Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon), he has little knowledge of her past other than that she is tortured by myths from her European homeland.
		This fl-and-white mood piece takes its time building up its story, and while Irena's inner panther could easily be interpreted as representing the wrath of a woman scorned, Cat People goes deeper in probing her psychic scars.

		The sensual grace of a big fl cat is quite something (looked at from a distance, or behind bars!), but in any close quarters contact, a human stands no chance against such a combination of strength and natural weaponry.
		One of the tip-offs as to which breed is involved is the ears: a leopard's ears are finer, and somewhat more pointy; a mountain lion's are somewhat rounder and furrier.
		This movie is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which is the intended ratio.
