Cat People is a classic horror film that tells the story of Irena Dubrovna, a Serbian artist in New York who believes she descends from an ancient race of people who transform into panthers when sexually aroused. The film explores themes of sexual repression and the fear of the unknown, as Irena's marriage to Oliver Reed becomes strained due to her fears. The atmospheric tension and psychological depth make it a landmark in horror cinema.
