Cat People (1942)
From producer Val Lewton, director Jacques Tourneur, and director of photography Nicholas Musuraca comes one of the great atmospheric chillers, a startling & stylish mix of mystery, light, shadow, and the unseen. A meet-cute at the Central Park Zoo leads to a swift courtship for a Serbian immigrant and her new beau. But an ancient curse threatens that consummation will turn her into a deadly panther. Is it a folk tale or a fearsome feline prophecy?
