SYNOPSIS: A secret cult that can turn themselves into cats is exposed after killing several humans during sex.
CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Sexual ego and denial. A take on the werewolf / vampire genre with a lot of erotica thrown in.
PROS AND CONS: While not my cup of tea, this was not a bad film. It was well acted and directed and walked that fine line between believability and suspense.
The direction is interesting and Paul Schrader is obviously a director of merit. His ‘fly-on-the-wall’ style, his use of color and the way he paces and frames the scenes is entertaining to watch.
That said, I didn’t much care for the plot and arch of the film. This is a very erotic motion picture that borders on an “X” rating. So, you get to see a lot of Nastassia Kinski in this film, which isn’t a bad thing.
This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.
