CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE: 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. [1]

A haunting film nonetheless, CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE, with its ethereal dream sequences, is beautifully chilling. [2]

The Curse of the Cat People is a 1944 film directed by Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise. [3]

Wise was working successfully at RKO as an editor when he was called in by producers Val Lewton and Sid Rogell to finish CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE, a film that had fallen terribly behind schedule. [...] After Oliver discovers that Amy has placed the invitations to her birthday party in a “magic tree” mailbox, he asks her to promise to make friends with the neighborhood children. [5]

Conceived as a sequel to Cat People - a huge box office hit for the studio in 1942 - posters and promotional materials for the film carried taglines like “The Beast-Woman Haunts the Night Anew!” [6]

Joining Lewton’s artistic sense and mastery of atmosphere with Jacques Tourneur’s directing talent, the film created fear in its audience precisely by not showing too much. [7]

The next morning, Amy finds an old photo of Irena in a desk drawer, and when she goes into the garden and calls to her friend, Irena appears. [5]

The Curse of the Cat People (1944), a sequel that is not quite a sequel, is a pretend-horror movie that’s really a contemplation of the fragility of childhood. [8]

According to Irena, the curse will make her turn into a deadly panther the minute she becomes emotionally aroused. [7]

The first of several interesting horror films by producer Val Lewton, CAT PEOPLE was innovative in its style. [1]

Just as in “Cat People” where you ached to believe in the curse surrounding Irena (Simone Simon), Lewton and Wise create a bridge between Amy’s imagination and Irena’s presence we want desperately to believe in. [9]

Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon) is a young, Serbian artist living in New York City. [7]
