It's always interesting to start a horror flick with a little warning about something!..

It's love at first sight for Oliver after eyeballing pretty Irena at the zoo, she's a mysterious Serbian-born fashion artist living in New York. Oliver and Irena get married...

But, there's problems, Irena believes she has a family curse on her, that, whenever she get extremely agitated, she turns into a black panther and kills for revenge!

Oliver sends Irena to debonaire shrink, Dr. Louis Judd, he probes her mind for answers to her mysterious past.

I like this shot!..

After her sessions with Dr. Judd, though, she begins having vivid dreams and nightmares.

In a fit of jealously, Irena stalks Oliver's co-worker and good friend, Alice, and gives her quite a thrill at the indoor pool!

Oliver has to fend off a freakin' black panther in his office building!!

Dr. Judd has fallen in love with Irena, but, she doesn't love him, and, he'll get his just desserts in just a few moments!
