The curse of the unconnected sequel

 

The Curse of the Cat People (1944)


Directed by Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise this sequel stars Ann Carter, Kent Smith and Jane Randolph. A young girl prone to flights of fantasy does not have any friends.


My main issue with this film is it is very lacking in cats or cat people, even not having seen the original this film comes off as a poor sequel. On its own this is not a bad film, it does a decent job of telling the story of a lonely child while exploring the ideas of fantasy and friendship. Had this been a stand alone with a different title I think it would work much better.


3/5
