Cat's Eye (1985)
Member Rating:  
Cat's Eye is an uneven, tepid trilogy of stories written by Stephen King connected by a cat which appears at the beginning of each story. The best story, and first episode, concerns chain-smoker Morrison (James Woods) who joins a stop-smoking group run by sadistic Dr. Monatti, played with great relish by Alan King. In the second episode, a gambler named Cressner (Kenneth McMillan) makes a bet with his wife's lover. In the third episode, a young girl (Drew Barrymore) is terrorized by a tiny troll. Although he wrote the screenplay, Stephen King was disappointed with the results and thought the interconnection of the stories using the cat clumsy and distracting. Directer Lewis Teague does an average job of directing the confusing and sometimes foolish script. However, James Woods' fine performance and the special effects by Jeff Jarvis make the film worth a view. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

this one is by far the best Stephen King book made into a movie because it really plays the way Stephen King books read. Not really a horror film but great, Stephen King fans who love his short stories will love this!

The stories were pretty mild compared to Creepshow 1 and 2 but still entertaining. My kids liked it since it wasn't really scary.

I really liked these 3 shorts. I'm a big Drew Barrymore fan (who should stick to acting and not directing). they're sort of Twilight Zone like, a must see if you're a Drew fan like me.

I'm sorry... I like Stephen King, but this movie is just hilarious to watch in 2009. The soundtrack, that is supposed to be suspenseful, is downright comical and the stories are so loosely tied together by a cat that it makes you wonder if you're watching a movie or 3 TV shows that feature Drew Barrymore. Over the top acting and unbelievable plots in all three. Great entertainment, to be sure, but not a suspense movie. Put it under comedy!
