The Leopard Man (1943)
Not producer Val Lewton's nor director Jacques Tourneur's best film by any stretch of the imagination but it does have it's moments.
Chiefly when a gypsy girl is forcibly locked outside and then attacked by an unseen assailant, believed to be the mythical leopard man, we then see her blood flow under the door and into the house. It's really well done and rather creepy.
Hideaway (1995)
A confusing muddle of a film. Jeff Goldblum is difficult to like or indeed care for, and the film lacks any sort of suspense or shocks.
Some 80's style (not so) special effect dream like sequences occasionally blow away the boredom but on the whole this was a turgid, lumpen mess.
