a leopard be to be use in an act and until it run away and panic begin in this helpless village . such be the plot in this val lewton production . a usual and lewton and director tournier know what they be do and be able to scare the pant off the viewer with violence that be imply and be never actually see . the fact that the leopard victim be woman and that we see them run and afraid fuel our increase anxiety . while it doesn not have the mood of i walk with a zombie and it be in contrast a straightforward story of an animal or enemy that need to be catch and or or destroy for the safety of the community . but and there be a twist . the killing do not look like an animal do it . star dennis okeefe and who be a prolific b movie actor in the 30 and 40 and and margo and who be in real life marry to actor eddie albert of green acre fame and mother of edward albert of butterfly be free and this be another val lewton must see horror film . it climax and denouement be somewhat disappointing ( but that up to you ) and it to the taste of the viewer whether you like this or zombie good and but and all in all and it vastly superior to the gore you see today . no one could do it like lewton .
