Rotten
Made as sequel to the profitable Cat People, this is highly disappointing because it fails to measure up as a horrific opus.

Hardly a moment is wasted.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Far from being a horror film, it's a touching, perceptive and lyrical film about childhood, psychologically astute and occasionally disturbing as it focuses entirely on the child's-eye view of a sad, cruel world.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
It makes a rare departure from the ordinary run of horror films and emerges as an oddly touching study of the working of a sensitive child's mind.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
