Time for more old movies. This movie was made in 1982. That’s 28 years ago. I guess that’s old, isn’t it?
Oh, Cat People. This is one of those movies I loved when I was way younger. It has the beautiful Natassja Kinski in it. That’s reason enough to watch it.
Malcolm McDowell is in it, too, which is awesome. And if that’s not enough, Annette O’Toole is in it, too. For the younger generation, she’s Superman’s mom in Smallville. But Annette is pretty young in this movie, and is damn sexy in it.
Cat People is not a masterpiece. It’s a bit entertaining, and I just like it for the nostalgic value. The plot is quite unrealistic and some aspects of it are just there just to provide some eroticism: there are people among us that can turn into Panthers….specially when they have sex…their problem is that they can’t turn human again unless they kill somebody. Irena (Natassja Kinki) is one of them; her brother Paul (Malcolm McDowell) is another one of these cat people. That’s it. There’s nudity, there’s blood, there’s dead prostitutes and wild panthers, naive cops and an unsatisfying ending.
