Pretty Yellow Stitches

Scorsese was terrified of remaking Cape Fear because the original was so good, as was Paul Schrader who took a shot at Cat People in the 80′s despite the original pretty much being a horror classic (and template for many modern horror films to come, including its revolutionary jump scare edit technique). Cat People could be considered a kind of feminine, stalking Dracula, a fable dredged out of Eastern Europe folklore with Simone Simon is as deliciously evil as her cryptic name suggests.
