Monstrous Flesh x The Screen at Contemporary present Hideous Thing Inside

Delving into fairy tales and folklore to explore the wild feral, forbidden, feminine.

She was marked with a curse of those who slink and court and kill by night!

A newly married woman is entranced by the idea that she is the descendant of a tribe of cat people that morph into black panthers when aroused. When she suspects her husband may betray her, the dormant feline is awakened!

The threat of the dark, unknown, and wild feminine is all at play—the suggestion of subtle terror that lingers in the shadows and threatens to take hold is a real treat to bask in. One of a series of Val Lewtons-produced low-budget RKO horrors that have been referenced, copied, and pastiched ever since.
