Paul Schrader directed this moody, erotic reworking of the 1942 horror classic. Irena Gallier (Nastassja Kinski) is a virginal young woman who learns from brother Paul (Malcolm McDowell) that they are "werecats," and that sex transforms members of their family into vicious black panthers. Once in feline form, the only way for them to become human again is to commit a violent murder. John Heard, Annette O'Toole, Ed Begley, Jr. also star. 119 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: Spanish, French; audio commentary by Schrader; documentary; theatrical trailer; photo gallery; more. Two-disc set.
