After years of separation, Irena Gallier and her minister brother, Paul, reunite in New Orleans. When zoologists capture a wild panther, Irena is drawn to the cat – and zoo curator Oliver to her. Soon, Paul will have to reveal the family secret: that when sexually aroused, they revert into predatory jungle cats.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Cat People (1982) is a horror/thriller focused on lycanthropy and forbidden sexuality. There are no indications in the plot summary or genre that suggest any connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography."
