Review of Cat People (1982) by Norm D — 30 May 2017

Surprised the Aud Score is so low. "Cat" has all the pop elements of a big theatrical. Yes, it's nearly a B-movie in a few respects and yet it's something of a classic, too, still interesting after all these years.

The capture of New Orleans before the massive state incentives for movie production lent an authenticity to the dark undertones of the location. It's sort of interesting, too, to have such a thorough documentation of a well-cast beauty, Kinski at age 20-21, along with the rest of the good cast.

As stated, "Cat People" almost achieves classic status - as it surely does "cult classic." Oh, and the unique soundtrack, the best use of early synthesized musical sound in a score that is still seductive after more than 3-decades.
