3.5/5
"Cat People is a film that really takes the 'less is more' policy to heart."  Classic Movie Guide  A. J. Hakari

3.5/5
"The way it messes with your head -- and Jacques Tourneur's deft ability behind the camera -- make it quite the '40s standout."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

A
"A thinking man's supernatural thriller."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

7/10
"It's what you don't see in a Val Lewton production rather than what you do see that makes it frightening."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Female sexuality is a rich source of a certain kind of horror - the kind of horror that plays upon the anxieties that prudish bourgeois men have about their wives' sex lives."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Leo Goldsmith

4/5
"One of the creepiest horror films ever made."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

4/4
"In its complexity, it functions as a sharp, canny blueprint for the rest of Lewton's pictures."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
