I loved "Cat People". The only thing this has in common is the cast and a reference "kinda" to Irina actually basically killing/suicide previously in one brief conversation. That's the end of the prequel. In this movie, a bright, pretty six-year-old spends the next 66 mins (yes, that's the length of this "full-length" movie) telling her parents, an old unhinged neighbor, said neighbor's may/may not be her equally unhinges daughter, the Jamaican butler... that "my friend" (imaginary friend = Irina) is a magical being that helps this little girl to feel less isolated. They used this in Child Psychology classes to give an example of isolated children. Rightfully so. But this is not a documentary. The acting is very, very pedestrian if not downright amateurish. Adults scare children w frightening images and stories. Spanking is treated as the worst punishment for lying when it could be worse when a deranged neighbor has your child unannounced in her house for hours at a time... This movie is a mess, as is my review. This is not worth the legendary status it has. I'm a Simone Simon fan. She deserved to be better represented than just looking beautiful and smiling incessantly for six scenes... Watch "Cat People" and forget this was just a massive money grab when it's not a real sequel.
