This 1982 horror film stars Nastassja Kinski, Malcolm McDowell and John Heard. This tells of a young woman, Irena (Kinski) who arrives in New Orleans and meets up with her estranged, brother, Paul (McDowell). Soon, she learns of their mysterious yet deadly, feline gift that their parents had after Paul starts shapeshifting into a black leopard killing people. Irena is a virgin and learns she must mate to stay human before she kills too. The late, Heard (Big) plays Oliver, a zoo curator whom she finds romance with. Ed Begley Jr (Transylvania 6-5000), Annette O'Toole (Smallville) and Frankie Faison (Hannibal) are also featured. This is a bizarre, erotic 80's horror flick with a decent cast, good make-up effects by Tom Burman, excellent score as usual by Giorgio Moroder and I also like David Bowie's "Putting Out Fire" theme song. Horror fanatics may want to check this out at least once.
