Cat People (1942)
Directed by Jacques Tourneur this film stars Simone Simon, Kent Smith and Jane Randolph. An American man marries a Serbian immigrant who believes she is cursed.
Made as a B-movie this film is possibly the origin of the jump scare in cinema. There is certainly something going on beneath the surface of this film and it works well as a thematic horror film. Definitely a milestone in cinema but maybe not of the highest quality when viewed with modern eyes.
4/5
