Customer Reviews

Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell do not pus-syfoot around.

The thing that first strikes you as you see this for the first time is the Soundtrack (Cat People: Original Soundtrack) "Putting out the Fire; Theme from Cat People" Music Written by Giorgio Moroder Lyrics Written and Performed by David Bowie. Next, amid a great cast, you notice Nastassja and wonder why you did not get the picture of her, and the Python mounted over your fireplace. With her eyes of green, she almost overwhelms the story. Malcolm is creepier than usual; the first time he hops up on all fours, you want to throw him a mouse. Among many other great performances, he played H. G. Wells in “Time After Time” (1979). The story plot follows the complicated lives of cat people as they cope with modern-day Louisiana. Irena Gallier is coming of age, and puberty hit her hard. She adds a new dimension to the term "running around." You may want to watch the original movie, but do not waste your energy trying to compare them, as they are from two different eras and budgets. You want to see this film, as you may be a cat person and not know it.
