This rather silly follow-up to Cat People isn't so much unwatchable as it is
merely unnecessary. For starters it's got nothing really to do with the
original, focusing on the daughter, Amy, of the heroine from the original. Amy
is hallucinating and dreams up an imaginary friend or two: Dad's dead first
wife. There's really nothing in here that has to do with cat people, but
allegedly the film was used in college psychology classes to study disturbed
children. Of course, if that's any benchmark, you should see some of the movies
they made me watch in school....
Part of the Val Lewton Horror Collection, including the following: Cat People,
The Curse of the Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Body Snatcher, Isle of
the Dead, Bedlam, The Leopard Man, The Ghost Ship, The Seventh Victim, and
Shadows in the Dark, a documentary about Lewton.
