If you grew up in the '80s, chances are Cat People was one of the movies your parents would quickly turn off if you happened to come across it while flicking through the channels.
Paul Schrader's kinky remake of Jacques Tourneur's 1942 horror/noir classic may seem pretty tame by today's standards, but the level of sex and, to a lesser extent, violence gained the film a certain amount of notoriety back in the day.
Now, Cat People is set to claw its way onto 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on June 28 courtesy of Scream Factory (you can pre-order a copy here).
Cat People stars Nastassja Kinski as Irena, a beautiful young woman who discovers love for the first time, only to find that the experience brings tragic consequences.
“The tremendous passion of this woman’s first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her – including the extraordinary demands of her brother (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange) – as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny.”
The movie also stars John Heard (Awakenings), Annette O’Toole (48 Hrs.), Ruby Dee (Do The Right Thing) and Lynn Lowry (Shivers).”
