Dave C What a travesty that the studio forced such a misleading and disappointing title onto this project! Whilst there is an ethereal, fairytale-like link to Cat People in Irena’s relationship with Amy, this is a very different film. It is a story of childhood fantasy with suggestions of Lewis Carroll’s works throughout, and is the birth of childhood fantasy films This ‘sequel’ shows what good writing and directing can do for the longevity of a movie – and for genre-defining writing, whilst also showing what impact overbearing studios can have on a story’s trajectory. A psychological horror or thriller this is not, but I must admit it is a great child fantasy, and it is nice that it is the brainchild of such a talented auteur My rating reflects the story and overall production, thankfully moving away from the title and poster artwork that would have seen me rate it much lower! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Elvis D Aunque esta secuela de Cat People sigue la trama de la original y parece prometer ser otro thriller, en realidad esta película es un drama que deja a un lado el suspenso de la cinta original. Aquí Irena regresa como un espíritu que no busca venganza, sino mas bien es el ángel guardián de la niña protagonista. La historia es linda, pero deriva mucho de la película anterior haciendo que esta sea otra película distinta y ni siquiera pega con el titulo. The Curse Of Cat People lamentablemente falla bastante como secuela de la cinta de suspenso original y aunque trae de regreso a los personajes con una tierna historia, acaba siendo una película olvidable. Mi calificación final es un 7/10. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review georgan g Having nothing to do with Cat People, this is still a cute film about a lonely child teaching her parents to believe her. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this as a child and loved it and I watch it every time it comes on. I grew up remembering everything about it. Perhaps because I am older now I can appreciate it but even as a child I loved it. At the time I watched it I didn't know nor care it was supposed to be a sequel. I watched it for itself. Maybe if more people would have watched it for itself and not a sequel it would have been appreciated more. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite it being considered a sequel to the Cat People and sharing some of the same actors, this is a very different story. There is more sweetness and tenderness to this story. It’s an incredible story about childhood and how being a child is often so hard. I really enjoyed this film. The imaginary friends, the disbelief of the adults, and the alienation of childhood is captured wonderful here. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/18 Full Review Audience Member Though falsely given a horror look, this is an exquisite family drama and directorial debut for Robert Wise.
