Rated Cat People 8/10

Feels like a B movie from the 40s. Mediocre acting, a somewhat contrived plot, and plenty of cheese. But there's something there under the surface about the duality of our animal nature vs. superego with a feminist bent. It feels quaint by today's standards, but it was surely intense back in the day. Found this on Wikipedia: <blockquote>A reviewer at BoxOffice found the film "grim and unrelenting ... a dose of horror best suited to addicts past the curable stage", and noted that the film was "definitely not for children, young or old ... Potent stuff, straight from the psychopathic clinic".</blockquote> I'm going to watch the Paul Schrader remake and report back.
