Reviews for The Leopard Man
1 - 15 (sorted by date)
While not as challenging or thematically dense as the other Lewton/Tourneur masterworks, there are individual sequences in The Leopard Man that refuse to fade from memory.

It's all confusion, in fact too much for an audience to follow.

Top CriticTourneur ... manages to produce RKO's usual heady layer of ominous atmosphere on a minimal budget, but the script's explanation of the attacks ends up letting him down.

A film for lovers of pools of darkness.

Half-baked efforts such as this one provoke little more than a yawn.

A wonderful little film in love with being in the shadows.

There's a certain multi-cultural conflict that distinguishes the Lewton-Tourneurs.

predicts the skeezy, south of the border noir of Touch of Evil
06/26/03
Not a starry cast, but good acting and some real jump-out-of-the-seat moments.

Moodiness galore in this creepy tale

One of the better, but more overlooked, Val Lewton films by Jacques Tourneur
08/07/02
epending for much of its effect on a subtle and poetic nudging of the spectator's imagination, the film has a couple of sequences that are truly terrifying.
