CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (1944) - DVD

The Val Lewton classic fantasy! An intriguing tale, beautifully filmed in a style that bears more resemblance to a Grimm’s fairy tale than horror, with a mesmerizing performance from Ann Carter. This is her film and she is strong and convincing in the role. The exploration of the insecurity of the child coupled with a troubled relationship with her father is fascinating. The expectation of a "horror" film with the suggestive title is also misleading. This is ultimately a surprisingly sensitive and uniquely haunting film that would appeal on many levels. Plus extras!
