  A bad sequel, it doesn't have anything to do with the first one really, and it's silly. I don't recommend this movie.

  The words "horrible sequel to a great movie" spring to mind when trying to describe Curse of the Cat People. Taking place several years after the original, Kent Smith and Jane Randolph have settled down in the suburbs, had a weird (mostly because Smith turned into a total dick) kid and generally gave up on life. The action (a word used very loosely) mostly follows said weird kid Amy who creates an imaginary friend in Simone Simon from the first Cat People and hangs out at the house of a nutty has-been actress in some kind of odd emotional struggle with her creepy yet foxy daughter. Robert Wise's (co-) directorial outing shows some real promise of what was to come from one of the world's most underrated directors with some really beautiful imagery in the back yard scenes. If you like child psychology mixed in with your suspense you're in for a real treat but otherwise its a completely pointless sequel. The good news is that The Curse of the Cat People will only eat a little over an hour of your time should you feel the overwhelming need to see it, but no matter what anyone says they should've let it go with the first.

  You can ignore the title which is very misleading. It is the sequel to Cat People but it?s a totally different kind of film. This time round its directed by Robert Wise but still produced by Lewton. It?s a wonderful fantasy film that I recommend viewing around Christmas time. It will make you feel all warm inside and will make a change from watching The Great Escape & It?s a wonderful life :o)

  Inaccurately titled sequel to <I>Cat People</I> is not a horror film and more importantly, doesn't even feature any cat people. However, this gorgeous fantasy film is just as potent in creating mood as its predecessor and deserves to be treated as a classic in its own right. Atmospheric film is enchanting look into the mind of a child. It's amazing the six-year-old protagonist, Ann Carter, didn't become a bigger star. She is memorable.

  In its own quiet way this is even better than the original "Cat People". Though it does use some of the tricks of the horror genre in the last 10 or so minutes, this is not a horror movie but rather the sweetest and most magical tribute to childhood imagination ever made.… More
  In its own quiet way this is even better than the original "Cat People". Though it does use some of the tricks of the horror genre in the last 10 or so minutes, this is not a horror movie but rather the sweetest and most magical tribute to childhood imagination ever made. The film reunites four of the cast members from the earlier film: Simone Simon (Irena), Kent Smith (Ollie), Jane Randolph (Alice) and Elizabeth Russell (Barbara Farren; formerly the Cat Woman in "Cat People"). A lonely little girl wishes for a friend, who materialises in the form of her father's dead first wife, whom only the girl can see. Meanwhile, the girl's loneliness is contrasted with that of a woman living nearby, whose eccentric mother refuses to accept her as her own daughter, believing her to have died at the age of six. An amazing film which owes much of its potency to Ann Carter's terrific and touching performance as Amy, the little girl.

  What a terribly misleading title. "The Curse of the Cat People" is no horror film, and it's barely even spooky. Add more visual atmosphere and this fantasy would verge on Jean Cocteau turf. It's also not much of a sequel to 1942's "Cat People,"… More
  What a terribly misleading title. "The Curse of the Cat People" is no horror film, and it's barely even spooky. Add more visual atmosphere and this fantasy would verge on Jean Cocteau turf. It's also not much of a sequel to 1942's "Cat People," beyond its recasting of Simone Simon and Kent Smith. A lonely little girl (Ann Carter, merely adequate) starts seeing her father's dead wife (Simon) and embraces her as a friend. She also befriends an elderly woman who lives with her daughter in one of those typical spooky homes that everyone avoids out of unfounded fear. Her concerned father (Smith) and his new wife frown upon these indulgences. Neither storyline resolves in a satisfying way, and it's not even certain exactly what has happened.
