Where to Watch Cat People
- Rob MacKinnonSeptember 7, 2026One star for Nastassja Kinski, one star for the David Bowie song, and one star for Annette O’Toole. And take back one half star for giving Annette O’Toole nothing to do. Zero stars for everything else in this unexpectedly boring movie.
- bogometerOctober 21, 2025Well Bowie did write a ballad for it.
- John ShadelJanuary 15, 2025Such a bizarre movie.
