Nastassia Kinski stars as Irena, a beautiful young woman on the bridge of sexuality; she discovers love for the first time only to find that the explosive experience brings with it tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this girl's first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her- including her brother's (Malcolm McDowell) extraordinary demands- as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. With a style as timeless as myth, Cat People is an erotic fantasy of the passion and terror that surround this girl's first love. Desire... passion... blood, her lust transforms her into one of the Cat People.

A better version - 3.5 out of 5 (8/12/2002)
CAT PEOPLE was released on DVD years ago in a bare bones version from Image,
which had a license to release some of the less interesting Universal
titles.
Why Universal put this on the list is beyond me because this fascinating
horror film was years ahead of its time. It's not really a remake of the old
Val Lewton classic as much as it is a retelling but this version by Paul
Schrader (TAXI DRIVER) is not for those with weak stomachs.
Nastassja Kinski stars in the film as the virgina

In the forty years that passed between the two films the film industry became far more permissive permitting a much more explicit take on the subject. The 1982 film by Paul Schrader explores the themes of incense, and the inner animal nature of man in an erotic, surreal manner. Irena Gallier (Nastassja Kinski) is a
