Cat People (1982)

An unabashedly erotic thriller, CAT PEOPLE is quintessential 80’s horror. Set in steamy New Orleans, it’s a must-see with a packed audience in a theater.

In this sensual and violent horror tale, Irena Gallier (Nastassia Kinski) has a dark family secret, one that resurfaces dramatically when she reconnects with her estranged brother, Paul (Malcolm McDowell). Living with her sibling in New Orleans, Irena finds herself enamored with zoologist Oliver Yates (John Heard), even as her brother makes his own advances toward her. It’s not long before the dark and dangerous curse of the Gallier clan rears its feline head.
