Larry Talbot I think it's one of the most underrated horror films. Angela Carter's short story collection The Bloody Chamber, on which the movie is based, is awesome as well.
Xanadon't Thank you :) Yeah, I like horror that can hold its place among other great films as well. If you like Cat People, I recommend Seventh Victim and I Walked with a Zombie. Although in my opinion the latter is not as good as the others, it still has a great atmosphere and cinematography.
