Review of Cat People (1942) by Janne F — 03 Nov 2009
An excellent old-school horror movie that implies more than it shows, and does so incredibly effectively. By letting the audience wonder about what is going on without spelling it out for them the filmmakers create a terrific sense of uncertainty and suspense that works on multiple levels.
The performances are all good - not outstanding, but solid - and the leading lady Simone Simon does a fine job of making her character seem sinister without actually performing any explicitly sinister acts.
The plot progression is swift and doesn't meander, and the conclusion leaves the viewer satisfied. A great movie, all around.
