A sequel to 1942’s The Cat People but tenuously connected in terms of plot and characters, Curse Of The Cat People serves up an even more dreamlike, fairytale mood. A study in childhood loneliness and the power of the imagination, this is a beautiful and charming fantasy rather than the horror film the title suggests. Co-directed by Robert Wise (who later made the terrifying The Haunting, and The Sound Of Music!) and produced by the great Val Lewton. The Christmas sequences are magical. A poetic masterpiece.
