After years of separation, Irena and her minister brother, Paul, reunite in New Orleans in this erotic tale of the supernatural. When zoologists capture a wild panther, Irena is drawn to the cat -- and the zoo curator is drawn to her. Soon, Irena's brother will have to reveal the family secret: that when sexually aroused, they turn into predatory jungle cats.

Beautiful practical effects, amazing music by Giorgio, and a scary scene involving a dark empty room.

As far as reboots go this was fairly well done.

A unique remake which seeks to improve lore, character likeability, and expand the original suggested feminist angle into sexual identity.

Sure it was a bit over the top but it was still visually beautiful and fun

Despite good performances, and a couple gripping scenes, the remake of Cat People was simply uninteresting.

Here's the pitch: "How about instead of werewolves they're cats!" "Sold!"

A sleazy, grittier retelling of the original film from the writer if Taxi Driver deals more with incest. A little long, but damn good.

Was never a fan of this movie. Didn’t find it very interesting, better movies to watch from the 80’s

Worth a watch for the special effects and soundtrack, but not much else.

Very frightening type of horror drama. Compelling cast, slick SFX, + some good acting are on offer. You might be allergic to kitty's after!
