The next film screening is going to be the 1942 horror film, Cat People, after which whoever is up for it can head down to the Mayfair for a midnight screening of Eraserhead.
Cat People is about a woman who believes she has been stricken with an ancient Serbian curse which causes her to turn into a cat whenever a man tries to make love with her. She meets a man at the zoo who falls in love with her and sends her to a psychiatrist to be cured, which proves more difficult than initially believed. The film was followed by a sequel a year later, and then by a remake in 1982, from director Paul Schrader. There are even rumours of a remake of that remake.
Cat People. 1942. dir. Jacques Tourneur, producer Val Lewton (who also produced I Walk With a Zombie, Curse of the Cat People, and The Body Snatcher). Stars Kent Smith, Simone Simon, and Tom Conway (who returned for the sequal, and the Val Lewton film The Seventh Victim, which exists in the same universe).
