Cat People
Nastassia Kinski stars as Irena, a beautiful young woman on the bridge of sexuality; she discovers love for the first time only to find that the explosive experience brings with it tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this girl's first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her- including her brother's (Malcolm McDowell) extraordinary demands- as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. With a style as timeless as myth, Cat People is an erotic fantasy of the passion and terror that surround this girl's first love. Desire... passion... blood, her lust transforms her into one of the Cat People.

Why rent this movie? - TorontoComposer
Because your significant other made. My wife remembered the ending of the show fondly and I had to sit through a really badly done, pretentious, badly acted, directed and written piece of drek for a not-worth-it sexy ending (really not). The dated horrible synthesizer music should have given it away. Save you time! Rent something good from the 80's, maybe Labyrinth or The Shining.I've never been a cat person... - Ovation
While I can certainly see why this film might have a "cult following", it did not do much for me (despite Natasha Kinski and a young, "perky" Annette O'Toole). This is a sub-genre of storytelling that is not among my favourites. Frankly, I rented it because it was in HD DVD. The movie looked good in many places but the execution of the story left me cold. Perhaps, someday, I'll get around to renting the original but I've many more films to see first. If one is a fan of the genre, I suppose it's worth a viewing. Otherwise, probably not worth the effort.Find Kinky Somewhere Else. - AndyDoan
It was kinda kinky and sexy but for the most part it missed the mark.
I thought that the film makers were going for a sort of mating ritual thing leading up to the half way point. That theory seemed to be shot down during a autopsy scene. The ending seemed to be the only part of the movie to make real sense.
To it's credit I wasn't compelled to turn the film off half way through. On the other hand it's not one that I'm going to spend a lot of time talking about.
