I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Sometimes not showing is better and in this case, the original was superior, but what's here is still solid. It takes the erotic level up a notch and the gore yet another, but somehow loses something when compared to the classic version. Some great scenery and gonzo performance from McDowell, but Kinski sometimes loses it. Liked it, but didn't love it.

Virginal beauty Irena Gallier (Nastassja Kinski) travels to New Orleans to live with her estranged brother Paul (Malcolm McDowell), unaware that they both belong to a race of cat people who turn into black leopards after sex, and who only return to human form when they kill. John Heard plays Oliver Yates (John Heard), curator at the local zoo, who puts himself in serious danger by falling in love with Irena.Like Tony Scott's The Hunger (1983), Paul Schrader's remake of Jacques Tourneur's 1942 classic Cat People is a case of '80s style over substance, the pretentious, art-house aesthetic coming before everything else, the film often more closely resembling an expensive music video than a horror movie. But where The Hunger was boring in the extreme, Schrader's Cat People manages to be a little more watchable thanks to lots of nudity, some decent gore, one or two genuinely tense scenes, and even an An American Werewolf In London-style transformation for good measure (special make-up effects by Tom Burman).As far as the nudity is concerned, it's kit-off time for both sexes, with the 21-year-old Kinski happy to wander around completely nude for her role, Annette O'Toole (Superman II) going topless for a re-creation of the original film's swimming pool scene, Lynn Lowry (of George Romero's The Crazies) briefly baring her boobs (her bra hilariously popping open as she escapes a cat attack), a blonde woman getting naked for a romp with McDowell, Heard baring his butt for a sex scene, and McDowell going one step further by briefly flashing his tallywhacker.The gore includes the mauling of call girl Ruthie (Lowry), Ed Begley Jr.'s arm being ripped out of its socket by one of the zoo's big cats (this fatal injury probably a regular occurrence at the zoo given how easy it is to reach the animals through the bars!), and the naked blonde bird's blood drenched mangled corpse, her body on the floor, her severed arm left laying on a bed.Chuck in a brooding synth score by Giorgio Moroder, a neat ending (Irena, remaining in cat form, caged in the zoo), and a theme song by David Bowie, and what you have isn't a complete waste of time, but neither is it worth going out of your way to see.4.5 out of 10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

Meow! - To the max!.... Yes. It's "Cat People" - Where Sexual Chic Meets Explicit Horror.Released in 1982 - Cat People is technically a really well made film - Very stylish. Sleek and glossy. In this flick the viewer is, pretty much, spared nothing - Incest, Bondage, Bestiality.... (Yep. It's all here, folks)Apparently, Cat People was intended to be a remake of the 1942 film of the same name. But this flick really bears little, if any, resemblance to the original production. Although this adaptation does take off on the same basic theme - That a woman (a member of a race of feline-humans) will automatically revert back into her animalistic self whenever she engages in fornication. (Get the picture?) Cat People stars the exquisitely seductive, but, emotionally vacant beauty, Nastassja Kinski as Irena. This horror film's moody title track was written and performed by pop star - David Bowie.

"Cat People" came out in 1982 and is a modern take on the 1942 version.There's something about this flick that makes it engrossing. It has style and pizazz. For instance, the flashback scenes of the ancient panther tribe doing rituals in an orange desert are surreal and captivating; the accompanying atmospheric music adds to the mood nicely.Nastassja Kinski and Malcolm McDowell are siblings cursed to become were-panthers if sexually aroused. The only way they can become human again is to kill a fellow human. The idea is absurd and fantastical, but "Cat People" takes the subject absolutely seriously. John Heard plays a zoo manager who falls in love with Kinski, while Annette O'Toole plays the third person in the romantic triangle.The casting is great. Both Kinski and McDowell are properly cat-like. McDowell has a fittingly weird and diabolic air about him. John Heard is fine and O'Toole is simply gorgeous.If nudity offends you then you might want to skip this one as many of the characters are shown totally nude or near nude.Kinski is indeed quite attractive (be on the lookout for the scene of her fishing with Heard in hot pants and wader boots) but I'm a bit perplexed by Heard's decision to drop O'Toole for Kinski. Check it out and see if you share my confusion; pay particular attention to the pool sequence.One thing I don't get about the story is that it is established that cat people can only safely have sex with other cat people; therefore because Kinski and McDowell are the only cat people left they can only have sexual relations with each other (shudder). The problem is that it is revealed that other cat people DO exist as Kinski obviously runs into another cat person in the diner. If there are other cat people out there why would McDowell insist on having incestuous relations with his sister? Is he just a sick bastage or am I giving this too much thought?Keep in mind that this is indeed a horror flick and it can be pretty brutal at times.GRADE: B+ or A-
