The Curse of the Cat People
Robert Wise's first directing credit was this RKO sequel to the pretty much staple supernatural horror of its time—and even if he made his way onto the director's chair halfway through (due to original director Gunther von Fritsch falling behind in schedule), it's easy to spot his usual flair, especially when it comes to the melodrama. I really didn't expect this film to be such a sweet tale on childhood imagination! On hindsight, it isn't exactly surprising to see his directorial debut mix melodrama and psychological horror together, I guess.
