Great Film From Val Lewton's Factory Of Horror, 15 January 2007
10/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

Though not as highly praised as either "Cat People" or "I Walked With A Zombie," I think this is one of Val Lewton's finest productions. It is about an escaped leopard that may or may not be killing people on the streets of a small New Mexico town. It contains some of the best-staged, scariest murder-set-pieces found in Lewton's (and horror's) canon. The great combination of light and shadows create some brilliant cinematic moments. The structure of the narrative is very unusual too. The way the story defies the audiences' expectations anticipates "Psycho" by almost two decades. It is essentially a series of stories that interweave over the course of a few days. When we feel comfortable enough with a character, the story moves to a smaller character that soon becomes the focal point of the film. This occurs repeatedly and the viewer is puzzled by the change. It is also a movie that plays with symbols brilliantly. The 100-dollar bill, the meeting of illicit lovers at a graveyard, the girl who is forced to fulfill a parent's ridiculous craving; all these elements anticipate acts of violence against women. And there is a sense that the actual cat is an instrument of fate that strikes down those people who ignore the warnings. The mystery is easy to solve, but trust me, it is a fascinating movie that gets better and better with each viewing. Robert De Grasse's cinematography is excellent. Roy Webb's music is spooky. Mark Robson's editing is top notch.
