The Leopard Man
Nobody makes a horror movie like Val Lewton - especially teamed with Tourneur.
I found the characters pretty flat in this one, but otherwise it was just dripping with his signature style and atmosphere. I've been wanting to see this for a long time, and it didn't disappoint at all.
The first killing is one of the most suspenseful moments ever captured on film...scary as hell.
