A Serbian émigré in Manhattan believes that, because of an ancient curse, any physical intimacy with the man she loves will turn her into a feline predator.
Editor's Verdict
"Cat People is a classic horror/romance film whose primary focus is on suspense, psychological fear, and forbidden desire, driven by a mythological curse. The detected 'Holiday Release' is irrelevant to the narrative, and 'Belief/Faith' refers to the curse, not traditional Christmas faith. There are no meaningful connections to the Christmas season in setting, plot, or themes."
