Barbara Shelley's first horror movie (and it's not by Hammer!) is a loose (unacknowledged) remake of the Val Lewton/Jacques Tourneur 1942 classic Cat People, about a woman returning to her ancestral home to claim an inheritance, only to find that there is a family curse of being possessed by the spirit of a leopard.
The cast are okay - but Shelley's class (and beauty) stand out a mile (hard to believe she was only 25 at the time). A couple of nice scenes, but - Shelley notwithstanding - it's not a patch on the original. 5/10.
