Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Made as sequel to the profitable Cat People, this is highly disappointing because it fails to measure up as a horrific opus.

Hardly a moment is wasted.

fresh:
Far from being a horror film, it's a touching, perceptive and lyrical film about childhood, psychologically astute and occasionally disturbing as it focuses entirely on the child's-eye view of a sad, cruel world.

fresh:
It makes a rare departure from the ordinary run of horror films and emerges as an oddly touching study of the working of a sensitive child's mind.
