Critics consensus

“Foregoing the horror thrills of its predecessor in favor of childhood fantasy, Curse of the Cat People is a touching and psychologically complex family film couched in a ghost story.”

Old-fashioned horror fantasy isn't too scary for tweens.

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.

Play[s] on the familiar Christmas themes of loneliness and the importance of finding community, as well as the theme of finding hope in a child.
