There was also a 1982 remake by Creator/PaulSchrader starring Creator/MalcolmMcDowell and Nastassja Kinski; it was a great deal [[BloodierAndGorier bloodier]] and more [[HotterAndSexier salacious]] than the original, expanded the original's sketchy backstory into a proper origin story for the cat people, and generally preferred to show what the original merely suggested. It's also very... very... ''slooooow'' and it has Music/DavidBowie belt out a title track.

* NothingIsScarier: One of the most famous examples is the "Lewton Bus" scene, in which Alice is shown looking over her shoulder, walking faster and faster as the camera zooms in on her terrified face, before we are startled by a hiss. Spoiler: It's actually the hydraulic brakes on a passing bus. This scene is still terrifying over 70 years later!
** The film also makes a great deal of implication rather than outright explaining things, leaving a lot to the imagination.

He breaks down in tears, crying that he was always afraid "it" would happen again; she comforts him that she knows how to take care of guys like him, and will make it better. And then "it" turns out to be, not failing to get it up, but turning into a black leopard and eating her.
