Cat People

PhotobucketPhotobucketBrooding film noir from producer Val Lewton is a triumph of imagination over budget in this haunting horror film. Relies not on overt shocks, but on a moody sense of dread. The whole cast is brilliant but Simone Simon as Irena is especially effective, suggesting subtle catlike behavior in just her movements. Remade less successfully in 1982.
