Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
One of those movies that coheres more interestingly because of its own odd heterogeneities, largely because the brio and friskiness of the filmmaking remain fairly constant over the short 70 minutes, even as the idioms keep moving around.

Rating: 3/4 --
Unexpectedly perceptive in its sympathetic observance of the pangs of childhood and the wondrous possibilities of imagination.

Rating: 7/10 --
A film that takes the business of childhood completely seriously and aligns itself to a child's perspective with absolute conviction.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Made as sequel to the profitable Cat People, this is highly disappointing because it fails to measure up as a horrific opus.

Variety
Far from being a horror film, it's a touching, perceptive and lyrical film about childhood, psychologically astute and occasionally disturbing as it focuses entirely on the child's-eye view of a sad, cruel world.

Old-fashioned horror fantasy isn't too scary for tweens.

Product Description:
In this excellent, eerie sequel to Jacques Tourneur's CAT PEOPLE, a widower, Oliver Reed (Kent Smith), the father of the introverted six-year-old Amy (Ann Carter) remarries. Lonely and curious, Amy begins to explore her late mother's life and discovers her maternal bloodline is cursed. In her dreams she visits her alluring but devilish mother (Simone Simon) and learns her people become panthers when their blood is aroused. In addition Amy makes friends with Julia (Julia Dean), an elderly actress who lives in a spooky old Victorian next door, and begins competing for her affection with Julia's real daughter, Barbara (Elizabeth Russell). Director Robert Wise's debut (codirected with Gunther von Fritsch) concentrates on childhood fantasy more than suspense and horror. A haunting film nonetheless, CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE, with its ethereal dream sequences, is beautifully chilling.
