If you loved Cat People, try I Walked with a Zombie
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jacques Tourneur, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cat People, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What I Walked with a Zombie is
Saint Sebastian island. Night. Crickets. A young nurse arrives. Her patient cannot speak. Cannot move. The woman's plantation-owner husband knows more than he lets on. Maybe the local voodoo holds the cure, or a different kind of curse. Tourneur's horror is more felt than seen.
