Paul Schrader's 'Cat People' Shapeshifts On To 4K UHD In August!

Continuing their recent hot streak, Scream Factory is re-releasing the 1982 cult remake of CAT PEOPLE in 4K!

Directed by Paul Schrader (The Card Counter, First Reformed, Hardcore, and so much more), the film is a remake of the 1942 Jacques Tourneur classic.  The new 4K scan of the negative is the only major update from the previous Scream Factory Collector’s Edition, but the more Paul Schrader films released in glorious 4K, the better.  It even comes with a collectible poster of the original artwork and retails for $35.99 USD!  

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

It’s time to unleash our primal animal nature and succumb to the unbridled cravings for a generous dose of suspense, unspeakable desire and old-fashioned thrills when CAT PEOPLE COLLECTOR’S EDITION comes in a 4KUHD™+Blu-ray™ combo pack from SCREAM FACTORY. Special features include a new 4K scan from the original camera negative and special bonus content. Loyal fans and collectors ordering from Shoutfactory.com will receive a rolled 18x24 poster featuring the original theatrical artwork available while supplies last.  

Directed by Paul Schrader (Hardcore, American Gigolo, Affliction), this provocative and memorable cult hit is a remake of the 1942 Jacques Tourneur horror/noir classic. The film stars Nastassja Kinski as Irena, a beautiful young woman who discovers love for the first time only to find that the experience brings tragic consequences. The tremendous passion of this woman's first romantic love is so strong, however, it bypasses the chaos around her – including the extraordinary demands of her brother (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange) – as it pushes her on to her own bizarre destiny. This erotic fantasy about the passion and terror surrounding this first love also stars John Heard (Awakenings), Annette O'Toole (48 Hrs.), Ruby Dee (Do The Right Thing) and Lynn Lowry (Shivers).
