If Cat People hit the spot, these will too

Jacques Tourneur working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the loneliness of Cat People for an angle of its own

The same preoccupation in both: isolation
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Twisty where it counts, dread-soaked underneath

One thread runs through both: cat
The difference: Easier on the loneliness than Cat People

Unsettling mystery, and it commits to that


Common ground: isolation
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Romance built on loneliness, twice over

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases

Both lean on unease more than on mystery
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Cat People does


Mystery with a pulse of twists, in both cases
