Cat People (1982)
Directed by Paul Schrader
“They are something more than lovers who are about to become something less than human.”
Fantasy, Horror · 1h 58m
After years of separation, Irena Gallier and her minister brother, Paul, reunite in New Orleans. When zoologists capture a wild panther, Irena is drawn to the cat – and zoo curator Oliver to her. Soon, Paul will have to reveal the family secret: that when sexually aroused, they revert into predatory jungle cats.
