Cat People
Directed by Jacques Tourneur
Serbian Irena Dubrovna's people believe that they are haunted by an ancient curse: Whenever their passions are aroused, they change into a panther--with lethal consequences. Yet when Irena moves to New York, she falls in love with Oliver Reed and gets married. Slowly she starts to believe she may be the terrifying feline presence she's known along. Hunted and half-mad, Irena flees. But the mystery remains: In the heat of passion, does she change ... or doesn't she?
In this horror classic, a woman believes she is haunted by an ancient curse that will totally transform her.
Cast: Simone Simon, Tom Conway, Kent Smith

Beautiful and encapsulating
Not much really happens till the final ten minutes.
Classic of horror with some great suspense.
It's as good as you've heard. FULL STOP.
An eerie classic, more subdued and suggestive than the standard horror if its time.
