The Curse of the Cat People



The Curse of the Cat People, 1944. A father is upset by his daughter's imaginary friend.

Directed by Gunther von Fritsch & Robert Wise. Written by DeWitt Bodeen. Starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph & Ann Carter.

Concept: 0/4 (Terrible). They clearly just took an unrelated script they had ready and shoe-horned in a few lines here and there to connect it with Cat People. This is not even a horror film. And on top of that, even if they hadn't tried to make it into a Cat People sequel, it still would have been a crap idea.
Story: 0/4 (Terrible)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 2/10 (Terrible, 0/4). A half-assed excuse for a movie that would have been lost to time long ago if it weren't for the deceptive title.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.1/4 (Bad)
