If you have a multi region player you should snap it up.
As terrible as i is, you should try and see the sequel, The Wicker Tree. If nothing else it does make explicit the fraudulence of the cult leaders. But as bad as you're imagining it might be, believe me, it's even worse. Put it this way, the Nic Cage remake is better.

haaaaa haaaaa NOOOOOO. no way i'm going to watch the wicker fucking tree. why ruin a perfect thing with horrible cynical sequels? some things are worth ignoring. i hear the tree of knowlege makes poison fruit ha ha ha. i'm staying in paradise. as bjork once said to an interviewer while casually picking her own nose-- "why suffer?"
anyway... the original 1942 "cat people" was just released on bluray. netflix has it, so i'm on the waitlist ("long wait" it says).
meanwhile i have a korean movie called "the isle" which is supposedly one of the most erotic horror movies ever. i'll see about that soon enough....
