        If you thought the remake was tense and suspenseful, you should have
seen the original (details escape me, but I'm almost sure it was B&W).  In 
the original, the audience doesn't know (as it does in the remake) whether
these people actually turn into cats or not.  On the other hand, the original
didn't have a Bowie soundtrack.
