    Stephen King's Cat's Eye Reviews:
    3 Stephen King Tales 3 Star Review
    2009-10-27 - As far as 1980's horror anthologies go "Cat's Eye" is okay, nowhere near as good as "Creepshow", but better than "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie". The film features 3 adaptations of Stephen King tales, two of which come from "The Night Shift" collection loosely connected by a framing story about a stray cat.

    1. - Quitters Inc. This is probably my favorite story found in this collection. James Woods wants to quit smoking, turning to Quitters Inc. to help. Unfortunately Quitters Inc. uses some pretty extreme methods to help folks kick the habit. With a large dose of dark humor, and Alan King as the nefarious head of Quitters Inc. you can't help but chuckle through this first entry.

    2. - The Ledge. This is another solid entry as Robert Hays is coerced by his lover's husband to walk around the outside of a casino building when caught trying to run away with the man's wife. There are a few tense moments here or there and it's another fun entry.

    3. - The General. This is where the film kind of falls apart for me. Drew Barrymore plays a kid suffering from nightmares and the titular stray cat seems to be the only thing that can make the nightmares stop. This is basically King's version of a "Goosebumps" tale, it's strictly for the 13 and under crowd as there are no scares, and the humor found in the earlier entries disappears too.

    The good thing about "Cat's Eye" is that it's a good way to introduce your kids to Stephen King's tales, consider it a horror film for family.

    2009-02-02 - I had this movie a long time ago - could only find it on Amazon! Love it!

    a highly underrated movie 5 Star Review
    2008-08-26 - I`ve introduced friends to this movie, and they like it. Many of them didn`t want to watch it because it was by Stephen King, and were afraid it was scary. I`ve always liked this flick, and give it the five stars it deserves.

    Cat's Eye 3 Star Review
    2008-06-12 - As a child, I watched "Cat's Eye" without blinking. From the opening sequence with the smoker to the ending sequence with the troll, it held my attention for over an hour. As an adult, however, it doesn't do the same. Don't get me wrong...it's still a good flick, but that's exactly what it is -- a flick. It's one you might watch on a rainy afternoon when there's nothing else to do or in the middle of the night when sleep just won't come.

    With the opening story, I'm not sure why anyone would want to pick up smoking after watching it. If you knew all of this was going to happen to you and to your family, you'd think twice. The second story is probably the one that will be skipped most often. It's not that it's not good, but you can easily anticipate what's going to happen and how it will end. The last story, however, is the one to watch. The acting in it isn't all that great, but the story line is amazing. I'm not so sure why this story wasn't used to make a full-feature film. Any adult who had nightmares about trolls or monsters will definitely want to keep their feet up off the floor when watching this one!

    Catseye: A great trilogy 4 Star Review
    2008-05-05 - This is a fine piece of mental chewing gum. The first one is a wry commentary on quit-smoking programs, but THIS one is the ultimate. The second (the weakest of the three) involves a Mob boss at a casino, a frame-up, and an inveterate gambler's end. The third (the best one of them all) stars Drew Barrymore as a girl who's terrorized by a troll living in her wall. What holds the three pieces together is a cat (hence the title), which travels from one to the other, and is the hero in the last. The troll animation is superb.
